US-based medical technology company Stryker is set to unveil its new Target Guided Surgery (TGS) navigation system for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) procedures.

Stryker plans to exhibit the TGS platform at the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings (COSM) in Maryland.

The new solution is based on Building Blocks planning software and has been developed in collaboration with Australian researcher Peter Wormald and a variety of ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists.

"The future of surgical navigation has arrived; Target Guided Surgery navigation gives physicians confidence to see more and do more with their patients."

The TGS system can be used to examine patient anatomy, in addition to enabling the planning and execution of surgical approaches with intraoperative guidance.

Stryker Navigation business general manager Lisa Kloes said: “The future of surgical navigation has arrived; Target Guided Surgery navigation gives physicians confidence to see more and do more with their patients.”
