Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the safe and effective incisional transpalpebral approaches to the orbit. The location of each approach and pertinent anatomy in each respective area, suggested approach techniques, recommended specialties, reconstruction options, intraoperative neurophysiology, complications, and approach limitations are discussed in detail.
