Comparing Piezo and Endonasal Osteotomy Techniques in Septorhinoplasty Healing

The Evaluation of the Effect of Piezo and Endonasal Osteotomy Methods on Postoperative Healing Process in Septorhinoplasty by the Ultrasonic Measurement of Nasal Skin Thickness

Observational Haseki Training and Research Hospital · NCT06094348

This study is testing which surgical method, Piezo or endonasal osteotomy, helps people with nasal deformities heal better after septorhinoplasty based on their skin thickness.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effects of two surgical techniques, Piezo and endonasal osteotomy, on the healing process of patients undergoing septorhinoplasty. It will assess postoperative edema and healing speed in relation to the skin thickness of participants. Patients aged 18-65 with nasal deformities will undergo ultrasonic measurements of the nasal dorsum before surgery and at one, three, and ten months postoperatively. The study seeks to determine which technique is more effective for different skin types.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are males and females aged 18-65 with nasal septum and/or nasal pyramid deviations who are planning to undergo open rhinoplasty.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of previous rhinoplasty, abnormal coagulation parameters, chronic skin diseases, or systemic diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and faster recovery for patients undergoing septorhinoplasty.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on osteotomy techniques, this specific comparison of Piezo and endonasal methods in relation to skin thickness is relatively novel.
