Image-guided surgery (IGS) is a reliable surgical tool with valid traditional and emerging applications. While its use is state-of-the-art, proper surgical training remains essential.

Area of Science:

  • Medical technology
  • Surgical innovation
  • Clinical practice

Background:

  • Image-guided surgery (IGS) is a critical tool in modern medicine.
  • The clinical validity and widespread adoption of IGS have been subjects of ongoing debate.
  • A comprehensive review of IGS indications and a literature-based consensus are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the established and emerging indications for image-guided surgery.
  • To establish a consensus on the reliability and clinical validity of IGS based on existing literature.
  • To provide guidance on the current state-of-the-art for IGS applications.

Main Methods:

  • A thorough literature review was conducted to gather relevant studies and expert opinions.
  • Analysis focused on identifying traditional and novel applications of IGS.

  • Evidence was synthesized to form a consensus on IGS reliability and validity.

    • Main Results:

    • Traditional indications for IGS have been confirmed as valid.
    • Novel applications of IGS are emerging, expanding its utility.
    • The reliability of IGS has been consistently endorsed in the reviewed literature.
    • Despite reliance on scattered reports and expert opinions, IGS is considered state-of-the-art for approved uses.

    Conclusions:

    • Image-guided surgery is a reliable technology.
    • Scientific validation of IGS outcomes is challenging due to ethical considerations.
    • The spectrum of IGS indications is expected to expand.
    • IGS complements, but does not replace, essential surgical training.
