New ultrasonic tool may make sinus surgery safer and faster
NCT ID NCT07332585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways to remove bone during a minimally invasive sinus surgery called the prelacrimal approach. One method uses a modern ultrasonic device (piezosurgery), the other uses a traditional hammer and chisel. The trial included 40 adults with various non-cancerous sinus conditions. Researchers measured how much bleeding occurred and how long the surgery took.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- piezosurgery device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that using a piezo ultrasonic device reduces bleeding and surgery time compared to the traditional hammer and chisel method.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits might be modest and not change standard practice.
