Computer-aided surgery (CAS) enhances functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) by improving preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation. This technology increases surgical effectiveness and reduces complications in complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Computer-aided surgery (CAS) integration into functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a topic of significant interest.
  • CAS facilitates preoperative planning through software-based CT image analysis.
  • This study aimed to develop and describe intraoperative CAS strategies for FESS.

Observation:

  • The StealthStation navigation system was utilized in 61 FESS cases between October 1997 and December 1998.
  • All cases involved chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical treatment.
  • Preoperative CT scans were reviewed using the StealthStation with anatomic fiducial registration and contour mapping.

Findings:

  • Localization accuracy was determined to be within 2 mm.

  • CAS proved beneficial for intraoperative localization and CT image review.
  • The technology was particularly useful in challenging anatomical regions like the frontal recess, sphenoethmoid, and skull base, especially in cases with altered anatomy or extensive disease.

    • Implications:

    • Image-guided FESS surgery, incorporating CAS, represents a paradigm shift in sinus surgery.
    • This approach is expected to enhance surgical outcomes.
    • The integration of CAS is anticipated to decrease surgical morbidity associated with FESS.
