ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how to improve nasal reconstruction surgery, which is a procedure to fix or reshape the nose. The researchers want to compare two methods: the standard way of planning the surgery versus a new approach using 3D scanning and printing to create a more precise plan before the operation. The goal is to gather information about how safe and effective these methods are.

To participate in the trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for nasal reconstruction surgery. The study is open to both men and women, and there is no upper age limit. If you decide to join, you will receive care at a specialized Facial Plastic Surgery clinic, and your experience will help researchers understand the best ways to approach this type of surgery. It’s important to note that younger patients under 18 are not eligible for this study.
