Development of endoscopic endonasal surgery has made it possible to reach diseases located in difficult areas of nose, paranasal sinuses and skull base. Technical advancements such as development of electromagnetic navigation system have greatly revolutionized the field of endoscopic endonasal surgery. Electromagnetic navigation system has improved the precision and accuracy of performing surgery and complication rates. This paper will emphasize on the technical aspects, mechanism of working, advantages and disadvantages of using electromagnetic navigation system and compare it with optic tracking system. While navigation system has many benefits, it should be used as an adjunctive to the surgical skills of a surgeon but not as a substitute.
鼻内镜手术的发展使得到达位于鼻腔、鼻窦和颅底等困难区域的疾病成为可能。诸如电磁导航系统的发展等技术进步极大地变革了鼻内镜手术领域。电磁导航系统提高了手术操作的精度和准确性,并降低了并发症发生率。本文将着重介绍电磁导航系统的技术方面、工作机制、优缺点,并将其与光学跟踪系统进行比较。虽然导航系统有很多益处,但它应作为外科医生手术技能的辅助手段,而不是替代品。
