[The advances in the application of image-guided system in endoscopic skull base surgery].

With the advancement of rigid endoscopic nasal surgery techniques, the indications for surgery have continued to expand, encompassing an increasing number of anatomical regions. As a surgical adjunct, imaging-guided system assists surgeons in identifying vital structures and mitigating surgical risks, and they are extensively employed in operations involving the nasal cavity, sinuses, and skull base. Nevertheless, existing imaging-guided system faces several unresolved challenges. With ongoing technological advancements and the integration of novel technologies, these systems are demonstrating renewed vigor.
