title: Endoscopic orbital surgery.
abstract: Orbital endoscopy is useful in managing various types of orbital problems. A hand-held endoscope can be used for simple procedures. Surgery and prolonged observation require a mounted endoscope. These two techniques provided good results in 15 patients. Endoscopy proved useful in finding and removing orbital foreign bodies. It is potentially useful in the management of orbital tumors, but experience in this area is still limited.
