Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngologic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation

Context:

  • Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) has been utilized in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgery since 1986.
  • Authors have developed multiple generations of CAS systems.
  • CAS relies on real-time processing of digital image data (CT, MRT, MRA, DSA) for intraoperative navigation.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utility and application of Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) in various otorhinolaryngologic surgical procedures.
  • To assess the effectiveness of different CAS system generations, including passive robot arms and advanced coordinate measuring devices.

Summary:

  • CAS was applied across multiple ENT surgical fields, including paranasal sinuses, orbit, rhinobasis, and otobasis.
  • The results indicate CAS is beneficial for complex cases such as acoustic neuromas, extensive sinus disease, revision surgery, orbital decompression, foreign body extraction, and stereotactic biopsies.

  • CAS also serves educational purposes in surgical training.

    • Impact:

    • Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) is a proven, useful tool for routine application in current otorhinolaryngologic practice.
    • Continued technical advancements in CAS are essential for future improvements in surgical navigation and patient outcomes.
