Abstract Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is evolving day by day, there is a constant need for improvisation in terms of instrumentation with clear bloodless surgical field and good postoperative results. The applications of Dr. Ahila’s Conchal Crusher for managing Concha bullosa in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) Surgery are presented. The creation/innovation of Dr. Ahila’s conchal crusher will prevent raw mucosal surface area, bleeding and scope fogging with blood during FESS surgery after traditional conchoplasty. This new instrument makes it easy to reduce concha bullosa during nose and sinus surgery creating a bloodless field, no risk of destabilization or fracture of middle turbinate hence no postoperative synechiae which may otherwise lead to iatrogenic frontal sinusitis. Surgical instruments represent a major financial asset to the healthcare facility. Single instrumentation is essential to avoid costly replacements, surgeon satisfaction, Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12070-020-01977-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. & Rajendran Dinesh Kumar [email protected] Nagalingeswaran Ahilasamy [email protected] Sivaprakasam Rajasekaran [email protected] Veerasigamani Narendrakumar [email protected] 1

Introduction Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is evolving day by day there is a constant need for improvisation in terms of instrumentation, clear bloodless surgical field and good postoperative results. Identifying this requirement to address nuances in endoscopic sinus surgery can lead to the concept of designing, creating or modifying instrument and eventually patenting the device. The applications of Dr. Ahila’s Conchal Crusher for Endoscopic Concha bullosa Surgery are presented. Senior Author has devised Dr. Ahila’s Conchal Crusher to facilitate time saving, bloodless, non-mucosal trauma to deal with concha bullosa with a good postoperative healing [1–3]. The need, in turn, can generate ideas or concept which may then lead to the design and development of a new instrument. This patented idea can reach out to many surgeons around the world in the form of article/surgical videos/through instrument companies to facil
