If patients' expectations are not met, it places surgeons performing septorhinoplasty at risk of litigation which can be stressful and costly. The National Institute of health (NHS) Resolution is a government-funded organization in the United Kingdom that provides expertise to the NHS on resolving patient concerns. Data were requested from NHS Resolution for claims involving septorhinoplasty surgery over a period of 5 years between April 2015 and April 2020. Rhinoplasty claims performed by all specialties were included. Data included the claim status, incident details, alleged injury, damages claimed, and damages paid. A total of 31 claims were identified by the study, equating to a total cost of \u00a31,347,336.10. Of the 31 claims for rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty, 9 cases were open (29%, \u00a3962,361.00) and 22 cases were closed (71%, \u00a3384,975.10). The common causes for claims were \u201cintraoperative problems (32%),\u201d \u201cfailure to warn\u2013informed consent (19%),\u201d and \u201cforeign body left in situ (13%).\u201d The most common injuries were \u201ccosmetic disfigurement (39%),\u201d \u201cunnecessary pain (29%),\u201d and \u201cadditional\/ unnecessary operation (29%).\u201d This study highlights the need for improved awareness of clinical negligence claims among surgeons who perform septorhinoplasty. Results are applicable to all specialties who perform the procedure. The study highlights the importance of assessing patients' motives and expectations prior to surgery and emphasizes the need for a well-documented rigorous consent process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1910-0604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]],"date-time":"2022-07-26T23:13:06Z","timestamp":1658877186000},"page":"142-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Litigation
