Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Computer-aided surgery (CAS) enhances endoscopic visualization but lacks real-time radiographic assessment.
  • Current CAS systems rely on preoperative imaging for localization, limiting intraoperative guidance.
  • The xCAT mobile volume CT scanner offers potential for real-time surgical navigation updates.

Observation:

  • A case report details the use of intraoperative CT in a complex revision endoscopic frontal sinus surgery.
  • A patient with Samter's triad underwent revision surgery for recurrent polyposis and frontal headaches.
  • Preoperative CT revealed a large frontal recess cell obstructing the frontal sinus.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative CT updates using xCAT were crucial for dissecting the frontal recess cell.

  • The technology aided in assessing the completeness of dissection along the anterior skull base.
  • CAS integrated with xCAT improved surgical navigation during the revision endoscopic sinus surgery.

    • Implications:

    • Intraoperative mobile volume CT scanning shows promise for real-time surgical navigation.
    • xCAT can be a valuable tool in endoscopic sinus surgery, particularly for complex revision cases.
    • Real-time radiographic assessment enhances surgical precision and outcomes in challenging procedures.
