Abstract
We report the intraoperative use of bent probes for 3-dimensional comp uter-assisted navigation in ENT surgery with the ISG Viewing Wand. Pro be calibration is standardized and the new probes comply with the over all application accuracy of the navigation system. The bent probes per mit an easy access to the remotest locations of the maxillary and the frontal sinus and are beneficial for application in paranasal sinus su rgery We present our clinical experiences with these probes.
