A member asked:
I was wondering what are common complications for sinus surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon: If they were common, that surgery would not be performed. That said, the risks really depend on which sinuses are treated surgically and with which surgical technique. Overall, it has become a low risk surgery. Talk to a surgeon.
