Thirty-day surgical site complications following rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts

Surgical-site complications have been demonstrated to be one of the most common adverse events following rhinoplasty. In the surgical literature, functional disability is an independent predictor of postoperative morbidity. 1 McIsaac D.I. MacDonald D.B. Aucoin S.D.
