Bilateral means both sides, and -ectomy means surgical removal. So a bilateral turbinectomy is surgical removal of all or part of the nasal turbinates on both sides.

Bilateral turbinectomy is a surgical procedure in which part or all of the nasal turbinates, which are bony structures inside the nasal passages that help warm and humidify air, are removed to alleviate chronic nasal congestion or obstruction. This procedure is typically considered when other treatments have been ineffective. However, it can have potential risks and side effects, such as dryness and crusting in the nose.
