Provided is a surgical method. The method includes detecting a location of a reference unit having a trackable element with a detector, the detector configured to provide at least one signal corresponding to a detected location of at least the reference unit's trackable element; accessing a computer-readable reconstruction of the being's anatomy; accessing a computer-readable reconstruction of an implant; detecting a location of a pointer tool comprising a trackable element with the detector, where the pointer tool is associated with a location of an anatomical feature of interest; accessing at least one computer-readable reconstruction of a trace, the trace corresponding to a geometry of the anatomical feature of interest; and superimposing the at least one updatable, computer-readable trace on the second computer-readable reconstruction of the implant.

Computer-assisted cranioplasty

An intracranial access device includes a housing having an operator-facing side and a patient-facing side and an opening therethrough extending from the operator-facing side to the patient-facing side. The device further includes at least one fastener configured to secure the device to a cranium of a patient. The device further includes a drill mounted to a surface of the housing and a cauterizer. The device may further include a number of sensors arranged on the patient-facing side of the housing and configured to identify a hemorrhage location.
