New surgical wrap aims to cut palate injuries in half

NCT ID NCT07552545

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two ways to lift the soft palate during throat surgery to see which causes fewer injuries. About 138 people aged 2 to 70 who need this type of surgery will be randomly assigned to either the standard double-strap method or a new full-wrap method. The goal is to find out if the full-wrap reduces damage to the soft palate and helps it heal faster.
