Image-guided sinus surgery.
Image-guided sinus surgery is a relatively new technology used to track the position of endoscopic instruments placed within the nose or sinus cavities. The different types of image-guided technologies are reviewed. A review of our experience with 55 patients in whom this technology was used over a 10-month period is presented. Our interpretation of the usefulness and limitations of this technology is described.
