Serious complications in nasal surgery occurred in 5.0% of cases, with hemorrhage and perforation being most common. Associated septal or turbinate surgery increased complication risk.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal surgery is increasingly common, often requiring concurrent septal and/or turbinate procedures.
  • Understanding the incidence and types of serious complications is crucial for patient safety.

Observation:

  • A review of 259 nasal surgeries (septorhinoplasties, septoplasties, rhinoplasties) from 1983-1988 identified 13 serious complications.
  • Complications included hemorrhage (5), perforation (4), infections (3), and pneumocephalus (1).
  • All patients experiencing serious complications had undergone associated septal and/or turbinate surgery.

Findings:

  • The overall incidence of serious complications in this series was 5.0%.
  • No fatalities were reported.
  • The risk of serious complications was higher when septal and/or turbinate surgery was performed concurrently.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of potential nasal surgery complications is essential for plastic surgeons.
  • Careful consideration and management strategies are needed for patients undergoing combined septal/turbinate and nasal surgeries.
  • This highlights the importance of surgical technique and patient selection in minimizing risks associated with complex nasal procedures.
