title: Craniofacial resection for orbital tumours.
abstract: Craniofacial resection for nasal and paranasal sinus tumours is now well established and performed increasingly because it has several advantages over other surgical approaches. More recently a different craniofacial approach has been developed to allow better access to orbital tumours and permit their complete excision as a single block. The experience of nine patients is reported. Results so far suggest this operation, with its excellent exposure, gives a good oncological resection, low postoperative morbidity and satisfactory cosmesis. Large malignant tumours that previously would have been removed inadequately and in piecemeal fashion can now be excised surrounded by a margin of normal tissue.
