The Fusion Navigation System allows the surgeon to perform image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery. A special CT scan of the sinus is performed pre-operatively and entered into the computerized system. The system is then used during the surgery to confirm the position of the surgeon’s instruments at all times. The endoscope's CT images and direct views are visualized throughout the procedure.
