Intraoperative Navigation for Surgically Precise Resection of the Chest (INSPIRE)

Thoracic Wall

While undergoing chest wall resection, a surgeon's major concern is obtaining an appropriate surgical margin. Difficulty or failure to do so can result in prolonged operative time, need for re-operation due to a positive resection margin, or need for complex chest wall reconstruction due to unnecessarily wide resection. Over the last decades, surgical navigation systems have been developed to improve operative precision in various surgical fields. This is achieved by integrating patient images with intraoperative findings.
