title: [Endoscopic sinus surgery complications a prospective multicenter study].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to determine the rate of complications in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and associated risk factors.
  
  
  METHODS
  We prospectively studied 1,382 subjects undergoing ESS for rhinosinusitis and cystic sinus disease at 16 hospitals during 2007 and 2008. Surgeons provided information on peri-and postoperative complication occurrence.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results of complications were seen in 80 subjects (5.8%), the most frequent was perioperative lamina papyracea injury. Analysis showed the complication rate to be linked to gender, and anesthesia type, but not the grade of surgeon.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  While care should be taken to avoid them, complications should be identified and treated in a timely and accurate manner.
