Latest neuronavigation research
The newest peer-reviewed work on image-guided cranial, spine and ENT surgery, refreshed every day.
This page runs a standing PubMed search and lists what came back, newest first. It is not a curated bibliography — nothing here is endorsed or reviewed by PRONAV. It is a way to see what is being published on navigation without building the search yourself. Every title links to the abstract on PubMed.

How this list is built
The search looks in titles and abstracts for the terms navigation papers actually use — neuronavigation, image-guided neurosurgery, stereotactic navigation, navigated pedicle screw, frameless stereotaxy — and for the more generic phrases such as surgical navigation only when they appear alongside an anatomic term. That second condition is what keeps robotic urology and shoulder arthroplasty out of a list meant for the cranial, spine and ENT rooms.
Results are limited to English-language papers from the past two years, with comments, editorials and letters excluded. The Cranial, Spine and ENT labels are applied automatically from the title and journal, so treat them as a rough sort rather than a classification.
