Nasal surgery is a medical procedure designed to treat various conditions that cause nasal blockages in the upper respiratory tract, for example nasal polyps, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and chronic rhinosinusitis. ^[1] It encompasses several types of techniques, including rhinoplasty, septoplasty, sinus surgery, and turbinoplasty, each with its respective postoperative treatments. ^[2] Furthermore, nasal surgery is also conducted for cosmetic purposes. ^[3] While there are potential risks and complications associated, the advancement of medical instruments and enhanced surgical skills have helped mitigate them.
