Redefining the Industry Standard for ENT

The use of navigation for ENT procedures has quickly become an industry standard in the last five years due to improved patient outcomes and its countless other benefits. The American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) issued a policy statement in November of 2002 endorsing the use of navigation technology, citing procedures similar to those that Medtronic focuses its innovations on, including:

1. Revision sinus surgery
2. Distorted sinus anatomy of development, postoperative, or traumatic origin
3. Extensive sino-nasal polyposis
4. Pathology involving the frontal, posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses
5. Disease abutting the skull base, orbit, optic nerve or carotid artery
6. CSF rhinorrhea or conditions where there is a skull base defect
7. Benign and malignant sino-nasal neoplasms
