The application of stereotactic navigation surgery to orbital decompression for thyroid-associated orbitopathy
Eye, 06/08/09

Millar MJ et al. - Stereotactic guidance improves anatomic localization and precision during orbital decompression, increasing confidence, and reducing surgical stress. The ability to accurately determine the maximal limits of decompression real time, while confirming depth of bone removal, offers the possibility of reduced risk of iatrogenic injury. Stereotactic navigation allows for improved intraoperative localization that may improve the ability to maximally decompress the lateral wall, including the zygoma, orbital roof, and trigone, and extending towards the optic nerve with exposure of dura through smaller incisions.
