My ent said he is going to remove a bone spur from my septum during septoplasty/ turb reduction. how common is this spur and will it make surgery hard?

Very common.: These are routinely removed and do not make the surgery any more complicated for an experienced surgeon.

septal spur: Septal spurs are common... The success of removal depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon.

Not really: Septoplasty involves removing bone and portion of the cartilage, so the procedure is technically the same in the hands of an experienced surgeon.
