Anterior orbitotomy using a vertical upper eyelid incision provides safe access to superonasal orbital lesions. This surgical approach ensures good cosmetic and functional outcomes for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Superonasal intraorbital lesions present a surgical challenge due to limited access.
  • Traditional surgical approaches may involve more extensive dissection or suboptimal exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of anterior orbitotomy via a vertical transmarginal upper eyelid incision.
  • To assess the suitability of this approach for superonasal intraorbital lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 13 patients.
  • Analysis of surgical outcomes, including lesion access, biopsy/removal, and postoperative cosmesis and function.

Main Results:

  • Successful biopsy or removal of superonasal intraorbital lesions in all cases.

  • Satisfactory postoperative cosmetic appearance and ocular function were achieved.
  • The vertical transmarginal incision proved effective for lesion access.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anterior orbitotomy with a vertical lid split is a valuable technique for superonasal intraorbital lesions.
    • This approach is effective for both anterior and deeper intraconal orbital masses.
    • It offers a favorable balance of surgical access, cosmesis, and function.
