Summary
In this procedure, the provider makes an incision through the side of the orbit, the bony cavity that holds the eyes. She removes a segment of bone, either temporarily during the procedure as a bone flap or as a bone window left open after the procedure, to access and explore the orbital cavity to identify the cause of a patient’s symptoms. She takes samples of any suspicious tissue and submits it to a laboratory for analysis.
