Concha Bullosa Resection

Indications:

• Obstruction of sinus outflow passages
• Enhanced surgical access for ESS

Highlights:

• Exposure of concha interior
• Resection of lateral lamella

Keep in Mind/Things to Remember:

• Leave inferior aspect of basal lamella intact so as not to destabilize the turbinate.
• By cutting the edge of the turbinate it may result in formation of adhesion to lateral nasal wall, if the turbinate is unstable.
