SURGICAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A surgical navigation system comprising:
- a bendable surgical instrument including a plurality of markers which generates energy;
a master device being coupled to the bendable surgical instrument and activating the markers;
a tracking sensor detecting energy generated from the markers; and
a processor being coupled to the tracking sensor and the bendable surgical instrument, determining a position of the energy which is generated from the markers and detected by the tracking sensor, and to tracing confirmed markers with previously set markers of the processor, which are corresponding to energy position of the detected markers.

Abstract
An surgical navigation system to provide more precise navigation function during endoscopic surgery in otolaryngology such as paranasal sinuses including large curved areas. The surgical navigation system comprises a bendable surgical instrument containing plurality of markers to generate energy, a master device coupled to the bendable surgical instrument to activate the markers, a tracking sensor to detect energy generated from the markers; and a processor coupled to the tracking sensor and the bendable surgical instrument, to determine a position of the energy which is generated from the markers detected by the tracking sensor, and to trace confirmed markers wherein the confirmed markers are matched between the position of the energy detected by the tracking sensor with a predetermined marker stored in the processor.
