Abstract
Summary: A retrospective study has assessed the early complications occurring in 90 patients who underwent inferior turbinectomy during a 3-year period. The operation was complicated by haemorrhage, adhesions, crusting, infection and septal perforation in a proportion of cases, the overall incidence being 20 per cent, and that of significant reactionary or secondary haemorrhage was 9 per cent. Attention has been directed towards possible aetiological factors and measures proposed that may minimise the occurrence of complications.
