Abstract

Digital technology and its application heralds the advent of the information age revolution for complex orbital surgery. The use of image-guided navigation surgery has helped orbital surgeons to perform procedures on a microscale at extremely intricate areas like the orbital apex and the optic canal reaching beyond the limitations of conventional operative performance. The patient-specific data from CT or MRI scans and 3D models provides newer tool for diagnosis, preoperative planning, surgical simulation, and intraoperative navigation. Additionally, the application of 3D printing technologies has transformed the planning and execution of surgery including custom-made guides for surgery and implants in complex orbital reconstruction for mid-facial poly-trauma. This video highlights the use of digital technology in challenging orbital and optic canal surgeries showcasing unexplored avenues for real-time reconstruction with precision and safety.
