Image-guided sinus surgery uses advanced technology to track instruments during endoscopic procedures. This review examines its types, usefulness, and limitations in 55 patients.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Medical Technology
Surgical Navigation

Background:

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a common procedure for sinonasal diseases.
Minimally invasive techniques require precise instrument navigation.
Image-guided surgery (IGS) offers enhanced spatial awareness during procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To review different types of image-guided technologies available for sinus surgery.
To present the authors' experience with IGS in a patient cohort.
To interpret the clinical utility and drawbacks of IGS in rhinology.

Main Methods:

Literature review of current image-guided technologies.
Retrospective analysis of 55 patients undergoing image-guided sinus surgery over 10 months.
