4K Endoscope and Surgical Navigation
We have introduced a 4K endoscopy system and a surgical navigation system to keep the sinus cavity, which is adjacent to the eyes, brain, and other vital organs, in a safe condition and to perform more precise surgical procedures during endoscopic sinus surgery. 4K has approximately four times the number of pixels of full high definition (1920 x 1080) and can clearly depict details that were previously unrepresentable in full high definition, making it possible to perform more delicate surgeries.
In addition, the surgical navigation system can display the operation site in real time on the screen of a CT taken before the surgery with an error margin of about 1 mm, allowing the surgeon to safely proceed with the surgery while checking dangerous areas such as the eyes and brain during endoscopic sinus surgery.
The introduction of the latest surgical support equipment, such as 4K endoscopes, surgical navigation, and shaver drill systems, has expanded minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. It allows the surgeons to perform endoscopic endonasal surgery on areas deeper than the sinus cavities, such as the skull base, lacrimal sac, orbit, and pterygopalatine fossa, which were previously performed through incisions on the gums or facial skin. This has resulted in less postoperative facial swelling and pain, and shorter hospital stays.
