A systematic review of common landmarks in navigated endoscopic sinus surgery (NESS)

Anatomical landmarks are considered to be the most important points of orientation for optimal use of navigation systems during FESS surgery. The most commonly identified significant landmarks are as follows: (1) Maxillary sinus ostium ; (2) Orbital wall ; (3) Frontal recess ; (4) Skull base ; (5) Ground lamella ; (6) Fovea posterior ; (7) Sphenoid sinus ostium. Conclusions: Establishing common landmarks are essential in performing NESS. This is true for advanced and novice surgeons alike and offers a possibility to use navigation systems systematically, taking advantage of all the benefits of endoscopic navigated surgery.
