Computer-aided endoscopic sinus surgery devices show accuracy within 2.00 mm. While initial use requires a learning curve, these systems are ultimately user-friendly for surgeons and staff.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common procedure.
  • Advancements in computer-aided surgical navigation aim to improve precision and outcomes.
  • Several navigation systems are available for ESS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and ease of use of four computer-aided endoscopic sinus surgical devices.
  • Comparison of ISG Viewing Wand, ISG infrared OptoTrak, IGT FlashPoint 5000, and VTI InstaTrak.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study combining laboratory experiments and intraoperative data.
  • Accuracy measurements obtained using cadaver skulls and in live patients.
  • User feedback on ease of use collected from surgeons and operating staff.

Main Results:

  • All evaluated systems demonstrated accuracy within 2.00 mm.
  • Initial variability in ease of use was observed.
  • Systems became relatively user-friendly after a learning period for surgical teams.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-aided navigation is a significant advancement in endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • Thorough anatomical knowledge and surgical technique training remain crucial for surgeons.
  • These devices offer a promising future for ESS.
