Which nose surgery method is safer for your heart?
NCT ID NCT07425834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two techniques used during septoplasty (nose surgery to fix a deviated septum): cold dissection and electrocautery. The goal is to see which method causes fewer sudden drops in heart rate during the operation. 120 adults aged 18-60 who need this surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two techniques, and their heart rates will be closely monitored.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If this trial succeeds, it could help surgeons choose a safer technique for septoplasty, reducing the risk of heart rate drops during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study that only looks at a temporary side effect during surgery. The results may not apply to all patients or change standard practice.
