Augmented reality for skull base surgery through the nose
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using an augmented reality (AR) navigation system can help surgeons perform skull base surgery through the nose more accurately. If you are already planning this type of surgery and have had the required scans, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a surgery that goes through the nose to reach the skull base.
- You have had a thin-layer MRI and a CTA scan of your head before the surgery.
- You agree to have the surgeon use an augmented reality system to help guide the surgery.
- Your medical records are complete.

This trial tests whether an “AR” (augmented reality) navigation system can help guide doctors during brain tumor or blood-vessel (cerebrovascular) surgery. If the system is accurate, it may help surgeons plan and position tools more safely.
This study looks at the results of removing skull base lesions using a minimally invasive technique through the nose. It aims to see how safe and effective this approach is for treating tumors at the base of the skull.
This study tests a new way to guide brain surgery using a head-mounted mixed reality system, which helps the surgeon see the tumor and surrounding structures. It is for adults with certain brain tumors that have not been treated before.
This trial tests whether augmented reality can help doctors locate tumors that cannot be felt during breast cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for a non-palpable breast lesion and need an MRI, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a robot can help surgeons perform precise endoscopic procedures in the brain or pituitary area. It may be an option for people who need a ventriculostomy or surgery for a pituitary growth.
This trial explores whether using a 3D mixed-reality viewer (like special goggles) to plan brain tumor surgery beforehand can help surgeons do a better job. If you are an adult with a brain tumor needing planned surgery and have had a recent MRI or CT scan, you may be able to join.
