I've been told I need surgery for a deviated septum and possibly nasal polyps, and the hospital quoted around 43,000 rupees. Could there be any serious complications during the procedure that might end up costing a lot more than the estimated amount? I'm a bit worried about unexpected expenses if something goes wrong

Yes, while the quoted price of 43,000 rupees for septoplasty (deviated septum surgery) and possible polyp removal is a good starting point, unexpected complications could lead to higher costs. These might include complications related to bleeding, infection, or the need for additional procedures to address complications like septal perforation
