Neuronavigation-guided surgery is a surgical technique that uses a computer-assisted navigation system that maps the target area in three dimensions. It lets the surgical team see the exact borders of a mass and its relationship to surrounding tissue, reach the lesion with a precision of 1 mm and keep damage to healthy tissue to a minimum.
How it works
During surgery, the navigation system shows the mass and its neighbouring structures in 3D. This allows the team to:
- Clearly define every border of the mass
- See how the mass relates to the healthy tissue around it
- Place the surgical incision in the most accurate position to reach the mass
- Approach the targeted lesion with a high degree of accuracy, to within 1 mm
- Minimise damage to healthy tissue during the operation
Navigation-guided biopsy
When surgery is needed to take a biopsy, the navigation system calculates the path required to enter the mass. The surgeon can then reach it as quickly as possible while causing as little damage as possible.
