Study and planning of the surgical procedure for the orbital district in patients affected by craniofacial malformations.

Orbital surgery is of critical importance within the framework of craniofacial surgery. The conical conformation of orbits requires analysis and surgical procedure planning methods involving all three dimensions. We present our protocol for the analysis and our three-dimensional surgical procedure plan to treat orbital malformations using teleradiography and two- and three-dimensional computed tomographic imaging. A number of clinical cases treated according to this approach are also presented.
