چکیده
Background Recent advances in image-based computer assistance in the last ten years allow computerized preoperative simulations, giving a lot of advantages in the preoperative surgical planning of resections. Preoperative simulation represents the prerequisite for navigated liver surgery. The aim of this study is to describe elementary technical aspects of a navigated approach to liver resections showing the advantages of navigation-system especially in the elderly.

Computer-assisted navigation and musculoskeletal sarcoma surgery.
BACKGROUND Despite advances in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, deep-seated bone sarcomas that require large osseous resections continue to present resection and reconstructive challenges to musculoskeletal surgeons. METHODS We describe our experience with computer navigation techniques combined with complex pelvic resections and limb-preserving surgeries. RESULTS Computer-assiste...
متن کاملComputer Navigation-aided Resection of Sacral Chordomas
BACKGROUND Resection of sacral chordomas is challenging. The anatomy is complex, and there are often no bony landmarks to guide the resection. Achieving adequate surgical margins is, therefore, difficult, and the recurrence rate is high. Use of computer navigation may allow optimal preoperative planning and improve precision in tumor resection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safe...
متن کاملUse of Computer Navigation in Orthopedic Oncology
The use of computer navigation was first described in the surgical resection of pelvic tumors in 2004. It was developed to improve surgical accuracy with the goal of achieving clear resection margins and better oncologic results. During the past few years, there has been tremendous advancement of computer-assisted tumor surgery (CATS) in the field of orthopedic oncology. Currently, CATS with im...
متن کاملComputer-assisted surgery in orthopedic oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In orthopedic oncology, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) can be considered an alternative to fluoroscopy and direct measurement for orientation, planning, and margin control. However, only small case series reporting specific applications have been published. We therefore describe possible applications of CAS and report preliminary results in 130 procedures. PATIENTS AND...
متن کاملMultiplanar osteotomies guided by navigation in chondrosarcoma of the knee.
Surgical resection with adequate margins is the treatment of choice in chondrosarcoma. However, well-circumscribed lesions can be completely resected by performing multi-planar osteotomies guided by computer-assisted navigation. This type of resection had been recently described in select patients with sarcomas; however, these osteotomies are technically demanding to plan and perform intraopera...
