Abstract
The StealthStation navigation system, which employed optical tracking technology, was introduced in 1995 and had been remodeled every few years. We have achieved the top market share of the navigation system in worldwide and Japan.
Currently, we deliver 2 types of navigation hardware for otolaryngology surgeries, “Treon” and “Tria”. The range of applications are “ENT application” for nose surgery, the “FrameLock” system for ear surgery.
We are preparing for the release of an electromagnetic navigation in Japan. Since this system se the small reference frame, it is the best for the nose surgery which does not usually apply a head fixation to a patient.
We introduce the method and technique to achieve high navigation accuracy in ear surgery.
