How Advanced Navigation Supports Sinus Surgery
The sinus cavities are located near delicate structures, including the eyes and the base of the skull. In some cases, chronic inflammation, anatomical variation, or prior surgery can alter normal landmarks inside the sinuses.
When visualization becomes more complex, surgical precision becomes even more important. Image-guided navigation technology provides real-time reference to detailed imaging, helping correlate surgical instruments with sinus anatomy.
For appropriate cases, Sinus GPS™ adds an additional layer of guidance during sinus procedures.

What Is Sinus GPS™ & How It Works
Sinus GPS™ is an image-guided surgical navigation system used during certain endoscopic sinus procedures. It functions similarly to a GPS system by correlating surgical instruments with detailed sinus imaging in real time.
During surgery, the system:
- References preoperative sinus CT images
- Tracks instrument positioning within the sinus cavity
- Confirms anatomical location during complex cases
- Assists with orientation in revision sinus surgery
- Supports precise navigation around sensitive structures
This technology is used in conjunction with endoscopic sinus surgery when additional guidance is clinically appropriate.

Who May Be Considered & What to Expect
Sinus GPS™ navigation may be considered in cases such as:
- Revision sinus surgery
- Extensive chronic sinus disease
- Nasal polyps affecting multiple sinus cavities
- Complex or narrow sinus anatomy
- Distorted anatomical landmarks from prior infection or surgery
During surgery:
- Imaging data is integrated into the navigation system
- Instruments are tracked relative to sinus anatomy
- Navigation is used to confirm positioning during the procedure
The decision to use image-guided technology is based on surgical complexity and individualized assessment.
Comprehensive Evaluation Before Treatment
Image-guided sinus surgery begins with detailed surgical planning and anatomical review.
Advanced Imaging Review
High-resolution sinus CT imaging is analyzed to evaluate disease extent and anatomical relationships.
Surgical Complexity Assessment
Anatomical variations, prior surgical changes, and proximity to critical structures are carefully reviewed.
Navigation Planning
Imaging data is calibrated for intraoperative navigation when enhanced guidance may be beneficial.
Individualized Surgical Strategy
Technology is incorporated when appropriate to support precision based on anatomy and disease severity.
Careful planning supports accurate and thoughtful surgical care.
Patient Stories
Real Results, Real Relief
Patients frequently express confidence knowing advanced navigation technology is used when appropriate during complex sinus procedures.
GOOD Based on 132 reviews Posted on Google Michelle GoldmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the sinus balloonoplasty surgery seven months ago. I have not had one sick day since I have not had a sniffle since. It was 25 minutes long . Recovery was a joke. It is the easiest surgery in the world. Dr. Mandel is amazing.And I'm extremely healthy now. I just sent a friend to Dr. Mandel to get the same surgery done. He might have saved my life. I was sick for over two years with sinus infection infections and bronchitis.Posted on Google Joe D'AlesandroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got sinus surgery with Dr. Mandel a little under 2 years ago and it's been good so far. He definitely saved me. I had chronic sinusitis for 7 months with acute bouts before then for years. only when I would get sick, since I turned 20. Antibiotics and steroids were needed to get the snot out and stop producing more post-nasal drip. Finally medication stopped working in August 2023 when I got a flu, and several bouts of antibiotics and steroids didn't do anything. Beginning of March 2024 Dr. Mandel opened all 6 sinuses and did turbinate reduction. I like how this place did CT scans. Every other ENT is apparently just guessing, evidence by the fact 4 days before one of my appointments here another ENT in the area (2nd opinion) told me "he didn't see any sinusitis," then here they did a CT and saw it in 4 sinuses. Had surgery 4 weeks later here. The other ENT told me they are "aggressive" in this practice. He had a strong opinion of Mandel in fact. Yeah, in my view he actually wants to try and fix the problem and not have you come back. Haven't had a steroid/antibiotic pill since I had the surgery, every time I get sick now it feels different in there. Sometimes I still get sinusitis after a cold/flu but it just drains naturally within a day or two. I'd do it again if I had to. They sent me to a good allergist after too in order to monitor me. My default state is different with more mucus than before but according to him that's likely scarring from the multi-month episode I had.Posted on Google Eddie BasultoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
