How Accurate Is Computer-Assisted Orbital Hypertelorism Surgery? Comparison of the Three-Dimensional Surgical Planning with the Postoperative Outcomes.

Surgery of orbital hypertelorism (ORH) remains an imprecise surgical procedure depending on the experience and habits of the craniofacial surgical teams. Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has developed dramatically in craniofacial surgery, but there is no current study assessing its accuracy for ORH surgery. This study aimed to assess the input of CAS and especially the accuracy of the cutting guide-based procedures.

Addressing hypertelorism: Indications and techniques.

From its first descriptions in the early 1920s to today's use of cutting guides via computer-assisted surgery, surgical techniques to address hypertelorism have progressed. The present article aims to provide historical background and an overview of the development of surgical techniques during the late 20th century and in recent years. First, a historical overview identifies the most important surgical advances leading to the present state of the art.

Surgical treatment of orbital hypertelorism: Historical evolution and development prospects.

Orbital hypertelorism (OR.H) is defined as an abnormal increase in the distance between the two orbits secondary to a skeletal anomaly, and it occurs in association with numerous congenital craniofacial malformations. Since its description by Greig in 1924, OR.

Management of non-syndromic craniosynostoses in France in 2015: A national survey.

Purpose: Craniosynostoses are managed by surgical and anaesthetic teams in specialist centres. Despite the availability of international guidelines, the perioperative management of craniosynostoses remains highly variable between centres. The aim of our study was to describe the different protocols for the management of non-syndromic craniosynostoses in France in 2015.
