Abstract

Major complications during endoscopic sinus surgery are rare and occur in 0.36% to 3.1% of patients. Postoperative hemorrhage accounts for 23% to 39% of complications. Despite being rare, major hemorrhage can be serious for the patient. This article discusses hemorrhagic complications during and following endoscopic sinus surgery, focusing on a review of the surgical anatomy, common pitfalls to avoid, preventative measures, and management of certain catastrophic complications for which preparedness can mean the difference between life and death.

Keywords: Anterior ethmoid artery; Endoscopic sinus surgery; Epistaxis; Internal carotid artery; Posterior ethmoid artery; Sphenopalatine artery.
