Summary
The technical advantages of the MKM neuronavigation system from Zeiss were tested during cadaveric dissections of the petrous bone. The optical probe, contours and plans which are projected directly on the microscope field enhanced orientation and provided accurate anatomical monitoring of the dissections. These features need practice and understanding of some factors and must be considered advantageous in the performance of petrous bone surgery.
