Reformation of concha bullosa following treatment by crushing surgical technique: Implication for balloon sinuplasty

There are various surgical techniques designed to treat conchae bullosae (CB). These include partial or total resection and crushing. Frontal sinus balloon sinuplasty is thought to work by the crushing/remodeling of the agger nasi and frontal recess air cells. The long‐term outcome of sinuplasty in the frontal/ethmoid air cell region is unknown. To date, no study has been done on the reformation of CB after crushing. We report on the long‐term outcome of a series of patients who underwent crushing of their CB and suggest implications for frontal sinus balloon sinuplasty.
