ABSTRACT

Introduction: infection rate after elective nasal surgery is very low which makes routine antibiotic prophylaxis redundant. In Colombia we do not have information about postoperative infection in septoplasty. A study was designed to determine the postoperative infection rate in patients undergoing septoplasty or septoplasty and turbinoplasty at Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá between 2016 to 2018. Methods: an observational, descriptive and retrospective study was conducted. The database of the Otolaryngology Section was reviewed. The proportion of infection for all individuals participating in the study was calculated in a general and stratified manner by use of prophylactic and postoperative antibiotic and the frequency of complications was described. Results: we found 255 patients in the patient database of which 206 patients met the inclusion criteria. 23.3 % of patients received prophylactic antibiotic and 24.76 % received postoperative antibiotic. The percentage of postoperative infection was 2.91 % (95 % CI: 1.07-6.23). 96.6 % of the patients did not present any complications. Conclusion: septoplasty has a low risk of infection which was in accordance to the findings found in the present study.
