Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The piezoelectric instrument (PEI) utilizes micro-oscillation and cavitation for bone removal in ear surgery.
  • This review critically analyzes PEI's advantages, disadvantages, and limitations against traditional drills.

Approach:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar, adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
  • Studies focusing on PEI in ear surgery, particularly those with control groups, were prioritized for inclusion.

Key Points:

  • Analysis of 49 studies (2003-2022) involving 1162 ear operations revealed PEI's potential for precise bone removal near delicate structures.
  • The majority of studies were retrospective (76%), with limited prospective randomized controlled trials.
  • PEI demonstrates enhanced safety and precision compared to drills, especially in proximity to soft tissues.

Conclusions:

  • Piezoelectric surgery represents a promising innovation for temporal bone procedures.
  • Current limitations include slower bone removal rates and higher costs, impacting broader clinical implementation.
