To date, clinical application of image-guided surgery (IGS) to otology/neurotology has been limited, but a large potential market and numerous applications support use. Such applications include control of surgical instruments (eg, turning off a drill when close to an anatomic boundary), robotic surgery (eg, robotic mastoidectomy), and minimally invasive surgery (eg, percutaneous cochlear implantation).
