Abstract:
Computer-aided surgery technology supports computer-enabled review of CT images and intraoperative surgical anatomy. Many rhinologic surgeons have embraced computer-aided surgery for complicated frontal sinus procedures because computer-aided surgery may simplify these complex procedures. This article discusses the fundamental principles of computer-aided surgery, its limitations, and its application to frontal sinus surgery.
