Image-guided navigation is well established for surgery of the brain and anterior skull base. Although navigation workstations have been used widely by neurosurgeons and rhinologists for decades, utilization in the lateral skull base (LSB) has been less due to stricter requirements for overall accuracy less than 1 mm in this region. Endoscopic approaches to the LSB facilitate minimally invasive surgeries with less morbidity, yet there are risks of injury to critical structures. With improvements in technology over the years, image-guided navigation for endoscopic LSB surgery can reduce operative time, optimize exposure for surgical corridors, and increase safety in difficult cases.
