چکیده
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Image-guided optical tracking systems are being used with increased frequency in lateral skull base surgery. Recently, electromagnetic tracking systems have become available for use in this region. However, the clinical accuracy of the electromagnetic tracking system has not been examined in lateral skull base surgery. This study evaluates the accuracy of electromagnetic navigation in lateral skull base surgery. STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric and radiographic study. METHODS Twenty cadaveric temporal bones were dissected in a surgical setting under a commercially available, electromagnetic surgical navigation system. The target registration error (TRE) was measured at 28 surgical landmarks during and after performing the standard translabyrinthine and middle cranial fossa surgical approaches to the internal acoustic canal. In addition, three demonstrative procedures that necessitate navigation with high accuracy were performed; that is, canalostomy of the superior semicircular canal from the middle cranial fossa,1 cochleostomy from the middle cranial fossa,2 and infralabyrinthine approach to the petrous apex.3 RESULTS: Eleven of 17 (65%) of the targets in the translabyrinthine approach and five of 11 (45%) of the targets in the middle fossa approach could be identified in the navigation system with TRE of less than 0.5 mm. Three accuracy-dependent procedures were completed without anatomical injury of important anatomical structures. CONCLUSION The electromagnetic navigation system had sufficient accuracy to be used in the surgical setting. It was possible to perform complex procedures in the lateral skull base under the guidance of the electromagnetically tracked navigation system. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE N/A.

متن کاملExperience with various 3-dimensional navigation systems in head and neck surgery.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefits and difficulties encountered when using various 3-dimensional (3-D) navigation systems in head and neck procedures. DESIGN Five different navigation systems were used for preoperative planning and intraoperative 3-D navigation in procedures at the paranasal sinuses, the frontal and lateral skull bases, and the petrous bone. INTERVENTION Intraoperative 3-D ...
متن کاملImproved ultrasound-based navigation for robotic drilling at the lateral skull base
Sensitive structures of the lateral skull base demand for robotic procedures a higher precision than provided by standard navigation systems relying on CT scans. Keystone of our multisensor approach to improve accuracy is the use of ultrasound for local navigation. In this study we compare two different ultrasound techniques to measure human skull bone in vitro: (A) the classic echo technique a...
متن کاملClinical Application of a New Dental Reference System for Computer Assisted Surgery at the Lateral Skull Base
Objective: The safest method for a reliable registration on the lateral skull base is the placement of fiducial markers into the patient’s bone by screws. An alternative method is the use of a resin splint that is fixated to the maxillary dentition, which carries the fiducial markers. Then the invasive fixation using bone screws becomes unnecessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acc...
