Stereotactic Navigation
The use of computer-assisted 3-dimensional navigation (image guidance) is increasingly common in clinical practice (Fig 2-8). Stereotactic guidance can be useful when performing complex multidisciplinary surgeries in which orbital lesions are accessed through craniotomy and endoscopic skull-base approaches. However, in uncomplicated orbital surgery, while image guidance may have some utility for surgical training, it has a lesser role in procedures performed by experienced orbital surgeons.
