intraoperative navigation

Intraoperative navigation refers to advanced technology used during surgery to help surgeons precisely locate and navigate within the body. It combines imaging techniques, like MRI or CT scans, with real-time data to create a detailed map of the surgical area. This allows the surgeon to visualize structures and guide instruments accurately, minimizing damage to healthy tissue and improving overall outcomes. Essentially, it’s like using GPS for surgery, enabling more precise and efficient procedures while enhancing patient safety.
