Hybrid Osteoplasty Versus Osteotomy in Rhinoplasty

NCT07142525 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to compare two common techniques for reducing the nasal hump during rhinoplasty: the traditional method using osteotomes and rasps, and a newer technique called hybrid osteoplasty that uses a surgical drill. Both approaches aim to improve the appearance and function of the nose. The trial will measure pain, swelling, bruising, and the smoothness of the nasal bridge, as well as patient satisfaction and breathing outcomes. Participants will be followed for one year to assess both early healing and long-term results.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Hybrid Osteoplasty

Open rhinoplasty with dorsal hump reduction performed using a powered surgical burr under irrigation and direct visualization. Bone is contoured gradually to achieve a smooth dorsum while preserving the keystone area. No dorsal osteotomy is performed in this arm. Cartilaginous work and adjunctive steps (e.g., septoplasty or tip refinement) are performed as clinically indicated but are not part of the intervention being tested.

PROCEDURE

Traditional Osteotomy and Rasping

Open rhinoplasty using the conventional technique for dorsal hump reduction. The bony hump is resected with a straight osteotome, followed by manual rasping to refine the nasal dorsum, with preservation of the keystone area. Powered burrs are not used for primary dorsal contouring in this arm. Cartilaginous work and adjunctive procedures may be performed as clinically indicated but are not part of the tested intervention.
