Abstract:
Powered instrumentation in orbital and optic nerve decompression is a helpful adjunct to performing safe, functional, and complete surgery. The microdebrider and the drill are the powered instruments most often used. Combined with endoscopic visualization, these tools provide appropriate drainage and decompression whether for orbital abscesses, Grave's ophthalmopathy, or optic nerve injury.
