In the field of modern medicine, surgical navigation technology (such as Stealth spine navigation and surgical robots) is considered a revolutionary innovation, bringing unprecedented levels of precision and safety to surgical procedures. It is a highly precise medical technology that assists surgeons in more accurately locating and operating during surgery. Typically, it combines imaging techniques, computer-assisted systems, and real-time tracking systems to enhance the accuracy and safety of surgeries.
Imaging Systems:
-Technologies such as CT, MRI, and intraoperative CT provide real-time images.
Computer-Assisted Systems:
-Software helps doctors plan surgical routes, and navigation platforms provide real-time guidance on display screens.
Tracking Systems:
-Uses infrared optical technology and markers to track the relative positions of surgical instruments and anatomical structures.
BENEFITS:
Enhancing Accuracy: Helps doctors precisely locate the affected area, minimizing errors.
Reducing Surgical Risk: Accurate navigation can reduce damage to surrounding healthy tissues, lowering surgical risks.
Shortening Surgery Time: Improves surgical efficiency, shortening both surgery time and recovery period.
Enhancing Preoperative Communication: Through 3D imaging, patients can better understand the surgery.
