Minimally invasive image-guided removal of retrobulbar intraconal foreign body.
Surgical approaches are becoming increasingly minimally invasive, without compromising either safety or ease. Penetrating ocular foreign bodies has traditionally been approached either by intraocular or supraorbital access. We successfully attempted a minimally invasive approach to remove a retrobulbar foreign body under computer-assisted image guidance in a 19-year-old man involved in an industrial mishap.
