What Is Image Guided Surgical Navigation?
Image Guided Surgical Navigation creates a 2-D or 3-D map of your head and sinus cavities using CT scans and electronic location markers that are placed on the patient's face during surgery. Surgeons can use these maps to help them navigate their instruments during surgeries and to avoid fragile and vital structures such as the optical nerve and the brain. This technology effectively reduces the risk of complications during both surgery and the healing process because the surgeon can approach their target more directly while leaving healthier tissue alone.
