Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/1996 - "Image-guided surgery has the advantage of rapid localization and may be helpful in navigating a complex surgical field which has been distorted by tumor" 01/01/2000 - "This study evaluates the benefit of and the indications for computer-assisted surgery in the treatment of cranio-maxillofacial tumors" 08/01/2008 - "CONCLUSION: This approach has potential applications in treatment, aiding computer-assisted surgery by determining the spatial distributions of healthy and neoplastic tissue, as well as in identifying tissue that is relatively more prone to tumor recurrence." 06/01/2008 - "Particular issues include decisions about when to treat, deciding between surgery and radiosurgery, increasing use of image-guided surgery, the understanding of the biology of these tumors, and changing attitudes in the management of the sagittal sinus" 09/15/2007 - "PET/CT image-guided surgery utilizes (18)FDG to monitor the biochemical activity of the tumor and to integrate pre- and postoperative imaging for complete tumor removal" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 05/01/2005 - "Powered instrumentation or computer-aided surgery are still controversially discussed, but certainly can be very helpful in the hands of an experienced surgeon, especially to minimize surgical trauma and save surgical time" 09/01/2007 - "Computer-aided surgery using 3D rendering of maxillofacial pathology and trauma." 05/01/2007 - "Recent developments with the use of image guided surgery, bone morphogenic protein and the potential for spinal cord regeneration are adding to our ability to deal surgically with thoraco-lumbar spine trauma." 07/01/2005 - "We have used the technology of image-guided surgery to assist in reconstructing these injuries" 10/01/2004 - "Computer-assisted surgery for pelvic injuries]" Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 08/01/2004 - "Their management has been revolutionized in the last decade by three developments: improved imaging and detection of metastases, better treatment of systemic disease with the result that metastases occur more often; and improved surgical techniques including image-guided surgery to treat metastatic lesions" 05/01/2008 - "Most brain metastases are treated with radiosurgery, computer-assisted surgery, or whole brain radiation therapy" 07/01/2007 - "Image-guided surgery of liver metastases by three-dimensional ultrasound-based optoelectronic navigation." 04/01/1996 - "This article reviews the authors' experience with image-guided surgery for brain metastases and discusses specifically the impact of the frameless viewing wand system on standard craniotomy techniques for this disorder" 03/10/2006 - "The use of various treatment modalities, particularly image-guided surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery, allows clinicians who are focused on the treatment of brain metastases to achieve superior levels of tumor control within the brain" Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Congenital Abnormalities (Deformity) 06/01/1998 - "In late primary repair, when open reduction and internal fixation had to wait for a decrease in facial swelling or cerebral oedema, computer-aided surgery has proven to be useful in terms of facilitating anatomical reduction, minimizing surgical approaches, saving operating time and leading to improved postoperative results, which may reduce the number of secondary corrections of post-traumatic deformities." 11/01/2008 - "Osteotomy of the lateral femoral condyle combined with computer-assisted surgery gave an excellent mid-term outcome in patients undergoing total knee replacement in the presence of severe valgus deformity." 09/01/2005 - "CONCLUSION: Computer assisted surgery reduces significantly the misplacement rate of pedicle screws and remains for experienced spine surgeons an important support in the operative treatment of complex spinal deformities in future" 01/01/1999 - "In this review, cases illustrating the use of image guided surgery techniques in patients with fixed, secondary orbital and zygomatic deformities will be demonstrated." 06/01/1997 - "A patient suffering from a post-traumatic deformity following multiple comminuted midface fractures was re-osteotomized with the aid of image-guided surgery using teleconsultation: the intraoperative position achieved could be discussed with different surgeons with regard to symmetry, hard/soft tissue relationships and occlusal details, with the possibility of on-screen planning interaction and real time evaluation of the results, over a distance of 500 km."

5.	Glioma (Gliomas) 10/01/2006 - "The improved orientation and visualization of tumour remnants, adjacent ventricles, and the enhanced intra- and peri-tumoural vasculature is one of the main advantages of ultrasonography-assisted image-guided surgery, which is most obvious during surgery for cystic gliomas." 09/01/2005 - "Image-guided surgery is the central element of therapeutic management of low grade gliomas and consequently, a precise preoperative definition of their spatial extension is necessary" 02/15/2003 - "Frameless stereotactic image-guided surgery resulted in the successful resection of 46 (85%) of 54 high-grade gliomas" 01/01/2006 - "OBJECT: In patients with glioma, image-guided surgery helps to define the radiographic limits of the tumor to maximize safety and the extent of resection while minimizing damage to eloquent brain tissue" 02/15/2003 - "To determine the usefulness of frameless stereotactic image-guided surgery of high-grade gliomas, the authors correlated factors predictive of brain shift, such as tumor size, periventricular location, and patient age (as an indicator of brain atrophy) with the extent of resection" Order ALL the reference details at left...
