A retrospective evaluation of medical records of nasal septoplasty operation, in 52 cases, at a city charitable hospital, was performed. Surgical outcome was appraised. Complications occurring early in first postoperative week and those manifest at 6 month follow up, were scrutinized. Bleeding and pain were early complications of minor nature. Failed septoplasty was late complication. A conservative approach to surgical procedure appears to hold the key to the endeavour of surgical correction of nasal septum deviation and nasal blockage.
