This topic is very typical. Generally speaking, there is no danger if the surgery is performed by an experienced specialist in a regular national hospital, but any surgery has the possibility of risk, arising from, first, the serious complexity of the disease, second, individual patient differences and anatomical variations, and third, the limited level of the doctor’s skills and medical equipment.
In addition to anesthesia accidents, bleeding, infection and other problems common to surgery, rhinological surgery may also have serious complications of damage to the functional structures of the nasal cavity, and also rare orbital and skull base injuries.
There are two main reasons for recurrence of nasal polyps, one is that they are not completely removed due to the limitations of the surgeon’s technique and surgical equipment, and the other is that the patient has allergic reactions (allergies) and other factors that make polyps prone to recurrence.
If the postoperative period is not reviewed in a timely manner, and if we do not pay attention to the treatment outside the perioperative period, recurrence may still exist.
As for which surgery can reduce postoperative recurrence, the endoscopic surgical method is still recommended. However, advanced methods may not necessarily reduce the occurrence of surgical complications. On the contrary, due to better equipment, the number of surgical indications has increased, and surgeries on dangerous areas that could not be involved in the past can be tried, so it can be said that the risks of surgery are greater and the requirements for surgery are more precise.
