Computer-augmented endoscopic sinus surgery.

Review of current literature on computer-augmented endoscopic sinus surgery reflects a sustained interest in developing a role for available frameless stereotactic technologies to provide image guidance for the surgeon. The interest is motivated by the prospect of increased intraoperative patient safety in that image guidance assists the surgeon in navigating through diseased or surgically revised complex anatomy. The authors feel that in time the technique will enable a new level of efficiency in endoscopic sinus surgery.
