Abstract

Various applications of endoscopy to orbital surgery are described in this article. The endoscopic approach offers improved surgical exposure, enhanced illumination, simultaneous visualization of operative field by multiple members of surgical team, and superior cosmesis compared with conventional surgical interventions. The procedure can be performed with minimal morbidity. The endoscopic orbital surgery, however, is technique dependent and should be performed only by surgeons who are familiar with orbital anatomy and basic endoscopic technique. It would be beneficial to surgeons to have previous experience in the traditional technique before adopting endoscopic orbital surgery to their armamentarium.
