Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted targeting clinical data of patients before, during and after surgery for 90 patients with malignant sinonasal tumors. This study covered all clinical and demographic data collected from different hospitals in Iraq for a period between July 17, 2022, to February 11, 2023. This study determined the complication rate, pain rate, and postoperative risk factors affecting patients with malignant sinonasal tumors.Results: Our results found that the rate of patients who underwent laparoscopic resection was 80%, while the rate of patients who underwent open resection was 20%. The duration of the surgical procedure was (180.25 ± 34.68) minutes, the volume of bleeding during the operation, ml, was 306.07 ± 70.58, the percentage of patients who There were five patients exposed to bleeding, the length of stay in the hospital was (250.62 ± 16.05) minutes, the duration of recovery was (12.68 ± 4.70) days, admission to the intensive care unit was 4 cases, the duration of follow-up (months) was 2.40 ± 0.68 cases, the average was Complications for patients who underwent laparoscopic resection surgery were 4 cases, and the complication rate for patients who underwent open resection surgery was 7 cases.Conclusion: This study indicated that laparoscopic resection surgery is the optimal surgical procedure in reducing the rate of complications and improving the quality of life of patients
