In recent years computer-navigation systems have been commonly used in the field of otorhinolaryngology. Taking its limitations and possible failures into account, this technology is considered reasonable and helpful in routine paranasal sinus surgery, particularly in revision cases and complex approaches to the lateral skull base. We report on a patient with a large recurrent craniopharyngioma, and show that the use of intraoperative navigation might even be necessary to accomplish the desired postoperative outcome in certain cases. Future developments will demonstrate whether computer assisted surgery can extend the indications for operative procedures in complex anatomical regions.
近年来，计算机导航系统已在耳鼻咽喉科领域得到广泛应用。考虑到其局限性和可能出现的故障，这项技术在常规鼻窦手术中被认为是合理且有帮助的，尤其是在翻修病例以及外侧颅底复杂手术入路中。我们报告了一例巨大复发性颅咽管瘤患者，并表明在某些情况下，使用术中导航对于实现理想的术后效果甚至可能是必要的。未来的发展将证明计算机辅助手术是否能够扩大复杂解剖区域手术操作的适应证范围。
