Answer 1

Concha bullosa refers to an enlargement or ballooning of the nasal turbinate (which is a normal structure in the nose). Concha bullosa is a normal anatomic variant, but occasionally, a concha bullosa can be very large and contribute to sinus obstruction. In these cases, the concha bullosa can be readily reduced by surgery.
Concha refers to the turbinate in this case, the middle turbinate. Bullosa refers to a bubble-like structure. A middle turbinate which has an air cell in it is a concha bullosa. When these are large, they can cause nasal obstruction or facial pressure or blockage of the sinus outflow tracts. They are easily reduced with endoscopic sinus surgery.
I doubt it. Reckon they will just speed up surgery, the sooner the better. Good Luck
