Physician adoption of image-guidance technology for sinus surgery rapidly increased initially, then plateaued. Surgeons should understand the benefits and challenges of this evolving technology.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Image-guidance technology offers potential advancements in sinus surgery.
  • Understanding physician adoption patterns is crucial for technology integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utilization and experience of physicians with image-guidance technology in sinus surgery.
  • To identify trends in the adoption and application of this technology.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 1000 image-guided sinus surgeries.
  • Analysis of data from 42 surgeons at an academic medical center.

Main Results:

  • Initial rapid increase in image-guidance system utilization (70.6% of cases, 92.8% of surgeons) within the first two years.
