Gliederung

Text

Objective: The computer-assisted surgery is firmly set up in the ENT.

Above all she offers more security, especially in the endonasal sinus surgery.

In a prospective study advantages and disadvantage are analized by ear operations under navigation.

We hope to get with it more statements to the security in particular with beginners of the ear operations.

Material and methods: From autumn 2006 ear operations are carried out navigated using the navigation system Vector Vision Compact (Brain LaB).

Patients reference is carried out by application of the firmly fixable star in the cranial calotte and laser surfaces scanning by the Z-touch.

During the operation the navigation occurs about microscope use, the pointer and navigated instruments (for instance drills).

Results: The navigation offers potentially more security by operations, also in the ear surgery.

Ear instruments with navigation are too heavy and often annoying.

Drilling with navigation is an expandable tool.

Very often and efficiently the pointer is used for orientation.

In the course of the operation itself changing picture record must not be included with progress of the operation in the other steps.

Summary: After visiting courses for ear operations and virtual training of preparation one can learn navigated of sure ear operations under supervision of an experienced ear surgeon.

The navigation does not substitute for the intensive study of the anatomy and exercises in the model, better in funeral preparations.

The available systems are still expandable where determining innovations of the future will bring to the surgeon even more security.
