Frequently Asked Questions
Image-guided sinus surgery uses advanced navigation technology that links your pre-operative CT scan to real-time surgical instruments. This allows the surgeon to see exactly where they are inside your sinuses during the procedure, improving accuracy and safety.
A CT scan provides a detailed, three-dimensional map of your sinus anatomy. Since every patient’s sinus structure is different, this imaging helps the surgeon plan the procedure precisely and avoid critical areas near the eyes, brain, and major blood vessels.
The Medtronic Fusion™ system acts like a GPS for sinus surgery. It tracks surgical instruments in real time and displays their position on your CT scan, helping the surgeon make more informed decisions and perform a more complete and targeted procedure.
For many patients—especially those with complex anatomy, revision surgeries, or severe sinus disease—image-guided surgery can add an extra level of safety. The enhanced visualization helps reduce surgical risks and supports more precise treatment.
Patients with chronic sinus infections, nasal polyps, prior sinus surgeries, or complicated sinus anatomy often benefit the most from image-guided techniques. Your ENT physician will determine if this technology is appropriate based on your symptoms and imaging results.
