Computer-Assisted Navigation in Surgery

Computer-assisted navigation in surgery enhances precision and accuracy using computer-based systems. These systems utilize 3D patient images to monitor surgical instrument position and orientation in real time, facilitated by continuous camera acquisition. The navigation unit consists of a camera that detects the position and orientation of specially marked surgical instruments and matches them to previous planning data. A computer calculates in real time where the instrument is in relation to the planned path and provides appropriate feedback to the surgeon.

How It Works

A navigation unit incorporates a camera detecting the position and orientation of marked surgical instruments, aligning them with preoperative planning data. A computer then calculates the instrument’s real-time location relative to the planned path, providing feedback to the surgeon during the procedure.

Applications in Various Medical Fields

Surgical navigation is used in various medical fields: in orthopedics, it ensures accurate alignment of joint implants; in neurosurgery, it improves precision for tumor removal and device implantation; in otolaryngology, it helps protect critical structures during head, neck, and cochlear procedures; in urology, it enhances accuracy in prostate surgery and incontinence treatment; and in gastroenterology, it supports precise tumor removal with minimal tissue damage.

Benefits of Navigated Surgery

Navigated surgery using computer-assisted navigation systems offers several key benefits. It ensures precision by enabling accurate instrument placement in relation to anatomical structures and surgical plans. It also enhances safety by helping to avoid damage to critical tissues, nerves, and blood vessels during complex procedures. Additionally, it improves efficiency by streamlining surgical workflows and reducing procedure times through real-time guidance.
