Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Image-guided navigation is standard for brain and anterior skull base surgery.
  • Lateral skull base (LSB) navigation is challenging due to high accuracy requirements (<1 mm).
  • Endoscopic LSB surgery offers minimally invasive benefits but carries risks to critical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility and benefits of image-guided navigation in endoscopic lateral skull base surgery.
  • To explore how technological advancements impact LSB surgical navigation.
  • To assess the potential of navigation to improve outcomes in complex LSB cases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technological advancements in image-guided navigation systems.
  • Analysis of application in endoscopic lateral skull base surgical approaches.
