Practical applications of navigation in skull base surgery

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Surgical treatment of 16 patients was performed with the help of the navigation system in our hospital. The navigation system proved to be a useful supplement when we cut cranial base bone, identify important structures such as internal carotid artery, and adjust the place for the reconstruction using three-dimensional model. Craniofacial approaches with intraoperative neuronavigational guidance allow logical simulation before surgery and safe resection at some difficult parts of the skull base.
