Image-Guided Surgery and Intraoperative Imaging in Rhinology: Clinical Update and Current State of the Art.

As image guidance and intraoperative imaging systems have advanced, their applications in sinus and skull base surgery have expanded. Both technologies offer invaluable real-time feedback on the status and progress of surgery, and thus may help to improve the completeness of surgery and overall outcomes. Recent advances such as augmented and virtual reality offer a window into the future of IGS. Future advancements should aim to enhance the surgeon's operative experience by improving user satisfaction and ultimately lead to better surgical results.
