| Popis: |
We describe a novel technique, Navigation and Endoscopic Assisted Tumor (NEAT) surgery in patients with benign bone tumors. The technique combines the advantages of both bone endoscopy and navigation guidance. It enables surgeons to perform intra-lesional tumor curettage in selected benign bone tumors in minimal access with less surgical trauma. The curettage procedure and the tumor cavity not only can be visualized with an endoscope but also can be assessed for tumor clearance with real-time feedback of navigation information on the preoperative CT images. It is particularly useful in benign bone tumors at difficultly accessed locations or tumors with irregular bone cavity and internal septae. The technique may avoid excessive bone removal to minimize the risk of fracture while preserving normal bone for better limb function. An initial learning curve, the facilities required, and a lack of long-term clinical results are some obstacles to its widespread use. |
