Excision of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma facilitated by intra-operative 3D-image guidance

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 March 2006

Abstract

The latest 3D-image guidance systems to assist surgeons have greatly improved over earlier models. We describe the use of an optical infra-red system to assist in the removal of a juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. The specific advantages of this system in pre-operative assessment, intra-operative evaluation and excision of the angiofibroma are discussed.
