This state-of-the-art reference presents the most recent developments in computer-aided surgery (CAS) for otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery. This text emphasizes the clinical applications of CAS and presents a vision for the integration of CAS into clinical otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery. The scope of this book includes basic CAS principles as well as strategies for the use of CAS in specific procedures. CAS surgical navigation (also known as image-guidance) for sinus surgery is extensively reviewed.
