ENT Surgery

Step-by-step animated workflows guide the user through the system setup and procedure.

Features:

Easy-to-Use Navigation

Brainlab electromagnetic ENT navigation addresses the need for simple intraoperative visualisation during functional endoscopy sinus surgery (FESS). With advanced setup flexibility and its articulated arm, Brainlab electromagnetic ENT navigation allows for optimal placement of the tracking unit near the patient’s head with no line of sight issues. Step-by-step animated workflows guide the user through the system setup and procedure.

ENT navigation provides enhanced visualisation on a full high-definition drapeable touch display. An integrated endoscope and continuous tracking of surgical instruments enable surgeons to achieve better results through more complete resections. The small patient reference can be easily taped or single-screw mounted anywhere on the skull where skin shift is unlikely.

Animated workflow guidance ensures a smooth procedure
Navigation based on DICOM or enriched DICOM data
Simultaneous navigation in different datasets
Combines relevant details in overlaid views
Setup and distortion check
Seamless import of all Elements and iPlan® data
More precise, cost-effective treatments, with lower revision occurrence

Intraoperative Remote Control

Sterility and time are of the essence in the O.R. Brainlab electromagnetic ENT navigation, therefore, offers complete remote control of the system directly from the sterile field using the EM pointer. Documentation is an important element for research and communication between surgeons and patients; With a simple click of the pointer button, screenshots can be taken and saved back. In addition, the pointer remote control features instrument calibration, screen freeze and patient registration.

Streamlined registration

Brainlab electromagnetic ENT navigation offers a precise, workflow-guided process for registering the patient with the system. Registration is simple with the EM Pointer, which registers CT and MR images without headsets or markers, negating the need for registration scans and enabling smooth surface matching. The remote capability of the EM pointer allows the surgeon to progress through all registration steps without touching the navigation monitor.

Fast surface matching with EM Pointer
Anatomical landmark registration
Partially automatic donut marker detection
3D display of patient data for identification of registration area
Automatic 3D thresholding for optimised registration results
Visual and acoustic registration status information

Electromagnetic Instrument Navigation

The EM Instrument Adapter integrates third party and Brainlab instruments, such as curved or straight pointers and various suctions, with the navigation system. The ENT navigation software enables instrument tip calibration in seconds without foot switches or drop down menus.

Integration of 3rd party instruments with EM Instrument Adapter
Large tracking volume for optimised tracking of instruments
Straightforward integration with reusable instrument reference
Integrates up to three instruments simultaneously
Point to point distance indication of tracked instruments
Dedicated Brainlab pointer tips and suctions for numerous procedures
Seamless integration of multidebriders, e.g. Olympus Diego® Elite Multidebrider®

Advanced Optical ENT Navigation

Brainlab also offers optical navigation, giving ENT surgeons the freedom to choose their preferred tracking technology. Optical navigation offers advanced touchless surface matching with Z-touch®, a wireless handheld laser pointer, for combined accuracy and convenience while quickly registering the patient. Brainlab optical adapter clamps, together with the universal instrument integration matrix, enable the integration of rigid instruments into the optical navigation procedure, such as Blakesley forceps, suctions, microdebriders and tubes.

Choice between electromagnetic and optical navigation
Navigation-ready in less than three minutes
Combined surface matching registration
Point to point distance indication of tracked instruments
Seamless integration of multidebriders, e.g. Olympus Diego® Elite Multidebrider®

Digitilisation is transforming the world. We are transforming your operating room

With an increase of unstructured data from video sources, intraoperative imaging and surgical documentation, managing and targeting the right data in the operating room has become more important than ever.

The O.R. of the future is as much about data augmentation and information integration as it is about high-tech medical devices. At Brainlab, our mission is to streamline device and information usage and enrich clinical data before, during and after surgery.

We do this by providing the surgical team with an advanced yet easy-to-use toolset aimed at improving documentation, communication, integration, and ultimately patient outcomes. Built as an open, modular platform, Brainlab integrated Digital O.R. gathers, manages and displays the right data in all setups, whether simple or complex, from straightforward general surgery to high-end hybrid O.R.s.
