Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Image-guided navigation significantly impacts head and neck surgery, particularly endonasal procedures.
  • Conventional navigation relies on static preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans.
  • Evolving technologies integrate real-time data and bioinformation for enhanced surgical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and developing techniques in surgical navigation for head and neck surgery.
  • To highlight the impact of technological advancements on surgical guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on image-guided navigation in head and neck surgery.
  • Analysis of advancements in radiological and optical imaging modalities.
  • Integration of virtual/augmented reality and bioinformation in surgical navigation.

Main Results:

  • Cross-sectional imaging fusion (CT with MRI, PET) and intraoperative imaging (cone-beam CT) are advancing surgical guidance.
  • Integration of virtual/augmented reality enhances surgical navigation capabilities.
  • Optical modalities like fluorescence and spectroscopy assimilate biological data for improved navigation.

Conclusions:

  • Radiological and optical imaging advancements are transforming head and neck surgery paradigms.
  • Continuous technological development promises more precise and effective surgical interventions.
