Surgical complications such as bleeding, infection, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage may occur during septum surgery. Severe bleeding, infection, or cerebrospinal fluid leakage may lead to life-threatening conditions if the patient is in poor general health.
1. Bleeding: Surgery involves incision operations, which may cause bleeding from small arteries or veins. If the patient’s coagulation function is poor or the postoperative coagulation medication is poorly applied, bleeding may occur, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.
2. Infection: After septal surgery, the local skin of the nasal septum is damaged and the barrier function is incomplete. If the late change of medicine is not timely or the aseptic operation is not standardized, bacteria may enter the bloodstream through the broken skin surface and cause bacteremia. If the patient’s immune function is poor at this time, it may cause systemic infection.
3. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage: If an accident occurs during surgery, such as the patient’s bone tissue behind the nasal septum is too thin, cerebrospinal fluid leakage may occur, and in severe cases, intracranial infections can be life-threatening.
All surgeries carry risks. If surgery is necessary, please go to a regular hospital to complete the treatment and minimize the risk of complications.
