Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Medical Imaging
Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

Endoscopic skull base surgery faces challenges in visualizing critical neurovascular structures.
Augmenting endoscopic video with preoperative imaging can enhance surgical performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To engineer and evaluate a practical video augmentation system for endoscopic skull base surgery.
To assess the feasibility and benefits of overlaying computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) planning data in real-time endoscopic video.

Main Methods:

Developed a modular video augmentation system with automated camera calibration.
Achieved high accuracy in camera calibration (0.7±0.3 pixels re-projection error, 2.3±1.5 mm target registration error).
Conducting an IRB-approved clinical pilot study with 15 patients undergoing skull base tumor surgery, comparing augmented vs. standard video displays.

Main Results:

The system demonstrated high accuracy in camera calibration, crucial for precise image overlay.
A clinical pilot study is underway to evaluate the system's impact on surgical confidence and performance.
Surgeon questionnaires are used to assess the benefits of real-time video augmentation.

Conclusions:

The developed video augmentation system shows promise for improving surgical navigation and safety in endoscopic skull base procedures.
The modular design allows for potential application in other endoscopic surgeries.
Ongoing clinical evaluation will determine the system's definitive impact on surgical outcomes.
