Abstract

This article highlights the major vascular supply of the orbit and structures supplied by these vessels. Key anatomic principles are then reviewed as they pertain to endoscopic orbital surgery in order to avoid serious orbital hemorrhages. Next, preoperative planning and patient education are outlined as well as description of orbital compartment syndrome. This is followed by discussion of various techniques for managing orbital hemorrhage in the intraoperative and postoperative setting.

Keywords: Cantholysis; Endoscopic; Hemostasis; Orbit; Orbital.
