The authors describe their microsurgical lateral orbital approach to intraorbital tumors. In seven patients ultrasonic scanning, computerized axial tomography, polytomography, orbital venography, and arteriography have allowed precise intraorbital tumor localization relative to the optic nerve. The authors believe that circumscribed tumors superior, lateral, or inferior to the optic nerve can be safely and completely removed through a 30-35-mm lateral skin incision with microsurgical dissecting…

LATERAL ORBITAL APPROACH TO INTRAORBITAL LESIONS
TLDR
By the development of modern neuroradiological techniques, it is possible to determine the exact location and extend of the intraorbital lesion, and its relationship with blood vessels, nerves and muscles in this region.
Surgical approaches to orbital tumors.
Frontozygomatic approach to intraorbital tumors.

  • 2007
TLDR
The frontozygomatic approach for surgical treatment of intraorbital tumors provides a wide visual field exposing the entire optic nerve and reduces discomfort for surgeons while providing a relatively wide surgical field.
Lateral approach to intraorbital lesions: anatomic and surgical considerations.
TLDR
It is thought that, with an intimate understanding of the anatomy of the orbit, intraorbital lesions located in the lateral compartment of the orbits, and even those in theateral apex, can be safely removed through lateral orbitotomy.
Pterional approach to the contralateral orbit.
TLDR
This techniques provided excellent exposure and results in these two cases of intraorbital cavernous malformations via a contralateral pterional transsphenoidal-transethmoidal route.
Endoscopic lateral orbitotomy
TLDR
Endoscopic lateral orbitotomy is an original alternative to the microsurgical Krönlein approach and yields good functional and cosmetic results.
The Lateral Orbitotomy Approach for Intraorbital Lesions.
TLDR
The lateral orbitotomy approach (LOA) is reviewed, including the general technique, its indications and limitations, reconstruction considerations, complications, and recent data from case series, focusing on microscopic access to intraorbital lesions.
Surgical approaches to orbital tumors.
TLDR
Experience gained over 17 years has convinced us that a team approach is mandatory for the difficult deep intraorbital tumors, even with the anterior medial or lateral approach.
Osteoplastic orbitotomy for orbital tumor surgery
TLDR
The author describes in this paper his new approach, Osteoblastic orbitotomy, which is a modification of both of the approaches for orbital tumor surgery, and the postoperative cosmetic results were satisfactory.
Modified lateral orbitotomy approach: a novel technique in the management of lacrimal gland tumors.
TLDR
A case of pleomorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland managed by a modified lateral orbitotomy approach with pleasing results is presented.

RESULTS FOLLOWING THE TRANSCRANIAL OPERÁTIVE ATTACK ON ORBITAL TUMORS
TLDR
In 1921 I 3 encountered by the cranial route an intracranial tumor that had extended through the optic foramen into the orbital cavity and the orbital roof was removed in order to follow and extirpate this portion of the tumor.
Arteriographic topography of orbital lesions.
TLDR
A topographic analysis of the vascular alterations of orbital mass lesions is presented, finding that very small tumors may demonstrate only minimal distortion or displacement of theascularity precluding arteriographic diagnosis.
A Plea for Lateral Orbitotomy
TLDR
The case report given below illustrates failure to remove an orbital tumour by the transfrontal route in July, 1945, and its successful excision through the lateral orbital approach in February, 1946.

TLDR
The purpose of this article is to present a simplified Kronlein operation which is relatively easy, will give greater exposure, will leave an inconspicuous scar, and, of itself, can do no damage to the orbital or periorbital structures.
Automatically irrigated bipolar forceps. Technical note.
TLDR
A newly developed automatically irrigated bipolar forceps with controlled irrigation pressure is described, which can be used for irrigating vegetable crops and for controlling irrigation pressure inducers.
