Reconstructive Operation of Severe Orbital Hypertelorism With Computer-Assisted Precise Virtual Plan.

Orbital hypertelorism correction is still a less precise procedure, with a simple preoperative design and surgical results often depending on the operator's experience. In recent years, computer-assisted technology has been fully utilized in craniofacial surgery. This article aims to explore the clinical results of computer-assisted technology in orbital hypertelorism correction and discuss its advantages and effects on treatment. Four patients with orbital hypertelorism underwent intracranial and extracranial combined box osteotomy correction. Preoperative computed tomography scans were performed, and 3-dimensional 3D digital technology was used to measure the orbital spacing, virtually design the 3D cutting scheme, and guide the intraoperative 3D cutting to improve the accuracy of periorbital osteotomy and reduce the surgical risk. Four patients underwent successful surgery, and the average distance of the medial orbital wall was decreased from 43.6 to 23.4 mm. Computer-assisted box osteotomy shortens the operative time and provides better corrective results.
