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.
