Overview of tools for measurement of the orbital volume and their applications to orbital surgery

There are numerous applications in craniofacial surgery with orbital volume (OV) modification. Careful management of the OV is fundamental to obtain good aesthetic and functional results in orbital surgery. With the growth of Computer-Aided Design – Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies, patient-specific implants and custom-made reconstruction are being used increasingly. Precise measurement of the OV before surgery is becoming a necessity for craniofacial surgeons. There is no consensus on orbital volume measurements (OVMs).
