Abstract
In this study, we retrospectively examined the bleeding that occurred in the 5-year patient series. One thousand seven hundred seventy-five patients who underwent septorhinoplasty surgery between 2019 and 2023 were included in the study, and 28 of these patients who presented with bleeding complications were examined. All patients underwent open-technique septorhinoplasty surgery with or without concha intervention and were discharged the next day after overnight hospitalization. Of the 1775 patients included in the study, 1415 (79.7%) were female and 360 (20.3%) were male. Bleeding was observed in a total of 28 cases (1.6%). There was no difference regarding age or sex in patients with bleeding. It was also observed that concha intervention did not make a difference in terms of bleeding. The bleeding period ranged from 1 to 9 days, with an average period of 5.53 ± 2.36 days and a median bleeding period of 6 days. All bleeding patients were followed up with supportive treatment and were discharged after a 24-hour bleeding-free period. There was no need for interventions in the operating room or blood transfusions in for any patient. Patients who present with bleeding after rhinoplasty can be observed, and their bleeding can be controlled without further intervention with supportive treatment and sufficient time.
