Measurement technique for estimating the distance from the centerline of the drill trajectory to facial nerve and chorda tympani. On the intraoperative endoscopic photograph a line is drawn over the drill bit, which provides a scale to the true physical size - 2 mm in this case. The distance from the edge of the drill to the chorda tympani and the facial nerve are then digitally drawn and calibrated.
