Abstract
We report the first intraoperative use of a microdebrider as a stereotactic three‐dimensional (3D) navigation instrument in paranasal and frontobasal surgery. The microdebrider uses rotating blades and an integrated suction device for controlled removal of tissue under video‐endoscopic view. The ISG Viewing Wand uses the patient's computed tomography/magnetic resonance (CT/MR) data and a 3D reconstruction thereof and a highprecision position‐sensitive mechanical arm for intraoperative three‐dimensional navigation. We have linked the microdebrider to the Viewing Wand to transform it into a continuously available intraoperative stereotactic localizing device. We discuss the problems related to this extension of the Viewing Wand and demonstrate the practical use in an exemplary polypectomy.Keywords
