Functional-aesthetic rhinoplasty can be performed using either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. While many surgeons prefer open rhinoplasty as this provides improved visibility of the anatomical structures involved, it is not necessary in every case. For patients with thin skin, moderate dorsal deformities or less complex nasal tip deformities, closed rhinoplasty offers clear benefits: with intranasal approach, there is no external scarring and the soft tissue integrity is largely preserved. This contributes to an aesthetically pleasing result and supports fast healing by retaining the natural tissue architecture.

In recent years, the core philosophy of rhinoplasty has evolved from destructive resection to less invasive preservation techniques. Despite this shift, open rhinoplasty retains its relevance by enabling precise visualisation and modification of nasal structures via the transcolumellar approach. However, with its reliance on larger incisions and associated soft tissue trauma the method is not compatible with the principles of minimally invasive surgery.

The new W&H MED Console provides users with a modular solution for ENT and CMF surgery. The Piezomed Pro is the central component of the 2-in-1 solution and features ultrasonic technology for precision bone cutting. In close cooperation with surgeons, W&H developed a comprehensive and practical range of tips for the Piezomed Pro.

Piezo technology and a surgical motor in one device, optimum flexibility during treatment and a tailor-made tip portfolio – all this and much more awaits users of the new W&H Med Console. The innovative 2-in-1 solution was developed to meet the exacting requirements of ENT specialists, plastic surgeons and CMF experts.

At the 3rd German Rhinoplasty Congress in Frankfurt held in early May, cutting-edge surgical techniques, the latest scientific findings, and advancements in rhinoplasty were showcased. The congress offered a platform for exchanging knowledge, networking, and further training. In this exclusive setting, W&H Med presented the new Piezomed Pro – piezo surgery specially developed for ear, nose, and throat and oral and maxillofacial surgery.
