    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Orbital tumors present significant surgical challenges due to limited access.
    • Existing surgical approaches may not provide adequate exposure for complex or large orbital neoplasms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified supraorbital and lateral surgical approach for enhanced orbital tumor excision.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in managing various orbital tumor types.

    Main Methods:

    • Experience with 10 cases of surgical excision of orbital tumors.
    • Utilized a modified supraorbital and lateral approach involving two bone flaps: a cranio-orbital flap and a posterior flap.
    • Technique allows for microsurgical removal of orbital contents.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved wide superior and lateral exposure of orbital contents.
    • Successfully managed large orbital neoplasms, tumors in the orbital apex, intracranial extensions, and medial orbital tumors.
    • Reconstruction allowed for complete restoration or orbital decompression, with no significant deficits.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified supraorbital and lateral approach provides excellent exposure for microsurgical removal of diverse orbital tumors.
    • This technique is safe and effective, yielding favorable functional and cosmetic results post-reconstruction.
