[The assessment of lateral orbitotomy by Krönlein-Reese-Berke in surgical treatment of primary non-malignant orbital tumors].
OBJECTIVE
The assessment of lateral orbitotomy by Krönlein-Reese-Berke was made to evaluate the possibility of radical removal of primary orbital tumors, function of visual system and cosmetic effect after lateral orbitotomy.


METHODS
The authors analysed a group of 14 patients treated for primary non-malignant orbital tumors. They were treated in I ENT Clinic of Silesian Medical Academy in Katowice surgically by Krönlein-Reese-Berke lateral orbitotomy. A control examination (after 3 years) performed in all 14 patients did not show recurrence of tumor, the motility of the eye ball and visual function was normal, cosmetic effect was good.


CONCLUSIONS
We suggest that in the cases of primary non-malignant tumors localised in the lateral part of the orbita, orbitotomy by Krönlein-Reese-Berke is the optimal surgical approach.
