NCT06094348

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the effect of Piezo and endonasal osteotomy techniques on the healing process of patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

  • In which osteotomy technique the edema is lesser?
  • Which osteotomy technique is better for thick vs thin skinned patients ? In which osteotomy technique the healing process is faster? Participants will be asked to have an ultrasonic measurement of the nasal dorsum preoperatively and at the first, third and tenth months postoperatively. Researchers will compare the thick and thin skinned patients to detect which osteotomy technique is superior in the healing process ( lesser edema and faster healing due to skin thickness measurements)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the mean nasal soft tissue envelope thickness measurements of rhinoplasty patients at postoperative 10th month

    the mean nasal soft tissue envelope thickness measurements of rhinoplasty patients at postoperative 10 th month will be done by ultrasonography at four anatomic locations; these locations are nasion, rhinion, supratip and tip

    10 months

Study Arms (4)

Group 1A- Thick skin, endonasal osteotomy

Patients with mean nasal soft tissue envelope thickness \> 4 mm undergoing classical endonasal osteotomy procedure during rhinoplasty operation

Procedure: Endonasal osteotomy

Group 1B -Thick skin, piezo osteotomy

Patients with mean nasal soft tissue envelope thickness \> 4 mm undergoing piezosurgery assisted osteotomy procedure during rhinoplasty operation

Device: Piezo assisted osteotomy

Group 2A- Thin skin, endonasal osteotomy

Patients with mean nasal soft tissue envelope thickness \<4 mm undergoing classical endonasal osteotomy procedure during rhinoplasty operation

Procedure: Endonasal osteotomy

Group 2B- Thin skin, piezo osteotomy

Patients with mean nasal soft tissue envelope thickness \< 4 mm undergoing piezosurgery assisted osteotomy procedure during rhinoplasty operation

Device: Piezo assisted osteotomy

Interventions

Patients will undergo median-oblique and lateral osteotomy, with conventional 2 mm guarded, straight osteotome.

Piezo is a system for cutting bone with micrometric ultrasonic piezoelectric vibrations, with varying frequency and cutting energy. The device consists of a platform with a powerful piezoelectric hand piece and employs a functional frequency between 25-29 kHz. The device is fitted with a cooling irrigation system with a 0-60 cc/min variable sterile solution flow. Specific inserts and scalpels act in a linear vibration pattern, with a spatial range between 60 and 210 microns, moved by an ultrasonic power that exceeds 5 watts, reaching up to 16 watts.
