Navigation systems enhance functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis, improving surgeon comfort and patient safety. These computer-assisted tools enable precise surgical planning and real-time instrument tracking.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Technology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Chronic sinusitis management often involves functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
  • Preoperative planning relies on physical examination and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of paranasal sinuses.
  • Intraoperative navigation systems are emerging as tools to enhance surgical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative navigation systems in functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis.
  • To assess the impact of navigation systems on surgeon comfort and patient safety during FESS.
  • To determine the usability of navigation systems in complex cases, including reoperations and congenital malformations.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving thirteen patients with chronic sinusitis undergoing FESS using electromagnetic and optical navigation systems.

  • High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans were acquired in three planes and transferred to a computer navigation system.
  • The navigation system was utilized for surgical planning, defining a "safe corridor," and intraoperative monitoring of instrument position.

    • Main Results:

    • The navigation systems demonstrated accuracy and rapidity, contributing to safe surgical procedures.
    • No system disturbances were observed due to patient displacement during surgery.
    • An improvement in surgeon comfort and patient safety was noted with the use of navigation systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative navigation systems are valuable tools for functional endoscopic sinus surgery in chronic sinusitis.
    • These systems enhance surgical precision, safety, and surgeon comfort.
    • Navigation technology is particularly beneficial for reoperations, extensive pathologies, and congenital malformations in sinus surgery.
