[Comparison of piezoelectric and conventional osteotomy in rhinoplasty : A systematic review].

CONCLUSION: Piezoelectric osteotomy resulted in a reduced propensity for postoperative edema and ecchymosis compared to the conventional osteotomy technique with a chisel. At this time, the results should be regarded as a trend. A definite recommendation favoring piezoelectric osteotomy cannot be made until more studies with higher patient numbers become available.
