utpatient ENT requires high levels of efficiency, a great
attention to detail and a supremely talented surgical
team with an in-depth knowledge of the instrumenta-
tion and technology these delicate cases require. If
you're considering constructing a new ENT facility or
remodeling an OR so you can host procedures from as basic as ear tube
placement to as complex as image-guided sinus surgery, you'll need to
invest in a couple key pieces of capital equipment: an image-guided sys-
tem and a microscope. Here's what you need to consider.
Surgical navigation
Image-guided systems let surgeons move through the sinus cavity as if
they're being directed by GPS, says Wayne Shaia, MD, an otologist
and neurotologist who operates at Medarva Stony Point's surgery cen-
ters in Richmond, Va.
