Advances in intra-operative imaging and the development of new minimally invasive techniques are having an ever greater impact on modern surgery. Mobile CT scanners in the operating room is a new technique that permits image-guided surgery, and helps minimize postoperative complications. We report on our initial experience with intraoperative CT scanning during surgery on patients suffering lateral midface trauma. A mobile CT unit, the Tomoscan M (Philips, Utrecht, Netherlands) set up in the operating room, was evaluated in 6 patients with zygomatic bone fractures. The patients were placed on the CT scanner table, which is detachable from the gantry. The unit is powered by batteries charged from an ordinary ring mains supply via a conventional plug. The CT images obtained were of good quality in all cases. No technical problems were observed during surgery. Using repeat CT scans, the procedure also permits accurate intraoperative monitoring of the anatomical repositioning of the bone fragments, and accurate implantation. No intraoperative or early postoperative complications were observed. This new technical aid ensures highly accurate reduction of the bone fragments, and minimizes the need for reoperation. High-quality intraoperative imaging with surgical navigation increase surgical outcome, and expand the spectrum of minimally invasive surgery.
