Stereotactic surgery using image guidance is beneficial for complex orbital tumor resections. This advanced technique aids surgeons in precisely locating tumors and defining their margins during orbital surgery.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Ophthalmology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Preoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are crucial for accurate localization in orbital surgery.
Stereotactic surgery offers a precise approach to navigating the complex orbital anatomy.

Observation:

This study evaluated frameless stereotactic systems (Cygnus and Stealth Station) in three patients with orbital tumors.
The patients presented with optic nerve glioma, recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland, and secondary orbital meningioma.

Findings:

Image-guided stereotactic surgery was beneficial for resecting extensive orbital tumors.
The technology facilitated precise tumor localization and margin definition.

Implications:
