Abstract
The head and neck region harbors many critical organs including the brain, eyes, ears, upper airway, pharynx, cranial nerves, and blood vessels. Thus, any pathology arising in this area is challenging to manage surgically. Many technological advances were achieved over the last three decades to overcome the anatomic and functional complexity of head and neck region. Among these, intraoperative image-guided surgery made possible accurate surgical navigation through this complex organ system. Surgical navigation has many utilities and benefits in oral and maxillofacial surgery including trauma, orthognathic surgery, dentoalveolar surgery, and pathology. In this chapter, we will focus on its utilization in head and neck pathology and discuss its indications/benefits in detail.
