EXPANDING WHAT’S POSSIBLE:

The StealthStation™ ENT is a navigation system for your most basic to your most complex cases. It is built on decades of scientific, clinical and engineering research. StealthStation™ ENT offers electromagnetic technology that expands what was previously possible with image-guided surgery so you can see more, do more.

STEALTH IS…

IMPROVING WORKFLOW EFFICIENCY. SIGNIFICANTLY.

The elegantly designed, flexible StealthStation ENT streamlines the OR so you can maintain focus.

  • A flat, under-the-head emitter is easy to position and out of the way during the surgery.
  • With an optional side-mount emitter, the system enables more procedure flexibility.
  • Additional EM coils increase surgical volume and create a large EM field.

STEALTH IS… NAVIGATING CRITICAL AREAS. CONFIDENTLY.

Imagine registration, visualization and modeling features that provide confirmation and confidence previously unavailable in an ENT navigation platform.

  • Patient registration combines registration methods and provides numerical and visual accuracy feedback.
  • Virtual endoscopy provides a simulated 3D endoscopic view of the sinuses to visualize anatomy, pathology and preoperative plans inaccessible with a traditional endoscope.
  • 3D modeling provides enriched visualization of the patient’s anatomy and pathology.

STEALTH IS…

WHY IMAGE-GUIDED SURGERY IS NEEDED

Disease, previous surgery, and normal anatomical variations can make it a challenge to perform the safest and most effective endoscopic sinus surgery, even with a detailed knowledge of anatomy and surgical skill. Avoiding orbital injuries, entry into the brain, and the carotid artery are paramount.

Image-guided surgery has become an industry standard for many endoscopic sinus surgeries. The American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) endorses the use of image-guided surgery for procedures including:1

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

Whether you're performing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) or complex skull base procedures, our StealthStation ENT image-guided surgery system provides valuable information that can help enable a safer, more thorough procedure.
