Makati Medical Centre performs first ISN procedure for orbital surgery

The procedure was performed on a patient presenting with right eye proptosis.

Philippines’ Makati Medical Centre has completed its first image-guided surgical navigation (ISN) procedure for orbital surgery.

The centre utilised the Brainlab image-guided orbital navigation system to conduct the procedure on a 37-year-old male patient presenting with right eye proptosis.

The patient underwent an en bloc excision of a retro-orbital mass through a lateral orbitotomy with a beveled bone flap.

In a statement, the ISN provides three-dimensional localisation of surgical instruments to improve preoperative planning and reduce operative complications.
