METHOD OF DETERMINING OF EXCESSIVE VOLUME OF EYE SOCKET'S SOFT TISSUES FOR PLANNING OPHTHALMOCELE CORRECTION OPERATIONS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61F9/00 A61B6/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely ophthalmosurgery and maxillo-facial surgery, neurosurgery, ENT surgery, oncology, surgical dentistry, tectonic and reconstructive surgery, and can be used in the treatment of ophthalmocele. Dimension of eye socket’s soft tissues and part of eyeball are determined, located anteriorly from frontal plane, drawn through a straight line connecting two points most emerged from the topical right and left eye socket’s bars in the patient with ophthalmocele (V_ex). Planning dimension of eye socket’s soft tissues and parts of eyeball are determined, located anteriorly from frontal plane, drawn through a straight line connecting two points most emerged from the topical right and left eye socket’s bars in the patient with ophthalmocele, which is necessary to retrieve in the result of performed operation (V_normal). Individual excess volume of soft tissues (V_pathol) is calculated, which must be removed from the absconsio of bone-cutting of eye socket according to the original formula.

EFFECT: method allows at preoperative stage objectively and quantitatively determine excess volume of soft tissues that need to be removed from the absconsio of bone-cutting of eye socket during decompression operation to correct the ophthalmocele, to minimize the risk of postoperative complications development by estimating the most significant parameters according to multi-layer spiral CT data.
