Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Intraoperative computer-assisted navigation is increasingly adopted in maxillofacial surgery.
  • A wireless passive marker system was adapted for instrument tracking.
  • Virtual anatomy is displayed intraoperatively via a semi-immersive head-up display.

Observation:

  • The system allows calibration and tracking of surgical instruments.
  • Computer assistance facilitates continuous observation of the surgical field.
  • Augmented visualization aids in adherence to preoperative surgical plans.

Findings:

  • A case report details the use of the Stryker Navigation Cart System for tumor resection.
  • The system assisted in the surgical resection of a T3N2bM0 carcinoma of the maxillary gingival.
