Sinus GPS™ Image-Guided Surgery

Advanced navigation technology used during certain sinus procedures to support precision and surgical accuracy

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.

How Chronic Sinusitis Is Diagnosed and Treated

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.
