Review of orbital surgery

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Neurosurgery
• Surgical Oncology

Background:

• Orbital surgery requires precise localization of lesions.
• The choice of surgical approach depends on lesion diagnosis and location.
• Over the past decade, advancements have improved orbital lesion management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review cases undergoing orbital surgery over the last ten years.
• To emphasize the importance of accurate pre-operative localization.
• To determine the most effective surgical approaches for orbital lesions.

Main Methods:

• Review of orbital surgery cases from the past ten years.
• Analysis of pre-operative clinical and radiological localization techniques.
• Evaluation of surgical approaches based on lesion diagnosis and site.

Main Results:

• Accurate pre-operative localization is crucial for successful orbital surgery.
• The anterior, extra-periosteal approach is effective for most orbital lesions.
• Diagnosis of lesion site dictates the optimal operative strategy.

Conclusions:

• Pre-operative localization is paramount in planning orbital surgery.
• The anterior, extra-periosteal approach provides broad access to orbital lesions.
• Tailoring surgical approach to lesion characteristics ensures optimal outcomes.
