Abstract Introduction: Traumatic nasal surgery commonly leads to early postoperative complications that may affect airway stability, patient comfort, and overall recovery quality. Understanding the frequency and pattern of these events is essential for improving perioperative management. By systematically evaluating outcomes within the first 24 hours after surgery, this study aims to provide clearer insight into the early postoperative course of affected patients.

Material and methods: The study was designed as an observational investigation conducted at Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz, enrolling 50 patients based on a sample size estimated using the standard population mean formula. All participants underwent general anesthesia with midazolam, fentanyl, propofol, atracurium, and lidocaine, followed by structured postoperative monitoring to assess early complications within the first 24 hours after traumatic nasal surgery.

Results: The study population consisted of young, mostly healthy patients, predominantly male, with stable baseline characteristics. Post‑anesthesia complications were generally mild, with nausea being the most common, followed by dizziness and shivering. Vomiting and bradycardia occurred infrequently. Age‑ and gender‑based synthetic comparisons showed similar patterns, suggesting minimal influence of demographic factors within this narrow clinical profile.

Conclusion: Overall, the findings demonstrate that postoperative complications in this young and clinically stable cohort were limited in severity and largely dominated by nausea, dizziness, and shivering. The uniform distribution of events across age and gender groups suggests that demographic factors played a minor role in early postoperative risk.
