The Application of an Ultrasonic Bone Aspirator for Septoturbinoplasty

Abstract

Application of a UBA for septo-turbinate surgery is an easy, safe, and effective method that reduces the occurrence of common complications, such as septal perforation, delayed healing, infection, and bleeding. In addition, the UBA produces minimal thermal and mechanical injury to surrounding tissue and enables precise and incremental bone removal with continuous irrigation and suction. This tool allows for easy sculpting and reduction of bony architecture of the nasal cavity.
