摘      要：Background: There are many complications associated with septoplasty, which chiefly depend on the procedure performed. The aim of this study was to find out the common complications after Septoplasty and Septorhinoplasty in a series of 127 Saudi patients undergoing Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty in Northern Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This study included a series of 127 patients presented with nasal blockage and subsequently undergone Septoplasty and /or Septorhinoplasty. Results: Complications were determined in 69/127 (54.3%) of the patients. The most common complication after three months of septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty was the change in the shape of the nose, which represented 57 (82.6%) out of 69 patients with complications. Bleeding was experienced in 8 patients of whom 5/8 (62.5%) were males and 3/8 (37.5%) were females. Conclusion: Nose deformities are the most common complication associated with Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty in Northern Saudi Arabia. The risks for Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty complications can be condensed with accumulative experience.
