Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Navigation

Context:

  • Accurate localization of pathological anatomy is crucial for successful surgery.
  • Anatomical alterations from malformations, tumors, or prior surgeries complicate intraoperative orientation.
  • Navigation systems offer potential solutions for intraoperative guidance.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the clinical accuracy, practicability, and intraoperative usefulness of an optoelectrical navigation system (OTS) in skull base surgery.
  • To assess the system's performance with different referencing methods.

Summary:

  • The OTS was used in 34 patients with skull base disorders.
  • Accuracy of approximately 1.5 mm was achieved with head fixation and bone-anchored markers.
  • Deviations under 2 mm were observed with dynamic referencing using a VBH mouthpiece.

  • Preoperative preparation time ranged from 15-25 minutes.

    • Impact:

    • The intraoperative orientation system significantly aids surgical guidance, particularly in cases with anatomical challenges.
    • Further system modifications are needed to enhance accuracy and workflow integration.
    • This technology has the potential to improve surgical outcomes in complex skull base procedures.
