Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Computer-assisted surgery is standard in open spine procedures but challenging in endoscopic approaches due to anatomy exposure requirements.
  • Existing fluoroscopic-based navigation for endoscopic surgery does not utilize CT or MRI data.
  • There is a need for image-guided endoscopic spine surgery techniques leveraging advanced imaging modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess a novel computer-assisted navigation method for endoscopic spine surgery using image guidance.
  • To evaluate the reproducibility, sensitivity, and reliability of this technique in vitro and clinically.
  • To enable CT and MRI-based image-guided surgery in endoscopic spine procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A feasibility study using a human thoracic spine model with a percutaneous reference frame for 3D localization and registration.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Scanning the spine model with the reference frame and using a Stealth station treatment guidance platform for simulation.
  • Conducting twenty navigation trials and recording the error between anatomical and virtual points.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful registration was achieved using the Stealth station and navigation software.
    • The mean error after registration was 0.96 mm.
    • The mean error during navigation simulation was 1.6 mm, indicating high accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed technique enables CT and MRI-based image-guided endoscopic spine surgery.
    • This method is reproducible and offers computer assistance for endoscopic procedures.
    • Future advancements in image fusion may enhance fluoronavigation capabilities with multimodal imaging.
