Table 2 Details of the Operative Techniques, Surgical Approach and Implants Used.
Study | Study Objective (Assisted vs Conventional) | Technique | Surgical Approach | Implants |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bly19 | preoperative reconstruction with MIO with endoscopic intraoperative navigation device vs unassisted | MIO + endoscopic intraoperative navigation (iNtellect Cranial Navigation, Stryker Corp, Michigan, USA) | TC, inferior fornix, precaruncular, or lateral retrocanthal, depending on location of fracture | non-preformed, mostly titanium mesh coated with high-density polyethylene, followed by bare titanium mesh, PDS sheet was rarely used |
Cai20 | preoperative reconstruction with MIO with intraoperative navigation device vs unassisted | MIO + intraoperative navigation (iPlan Cranial,version 2.6; Brainlab, Feldkirchen, Germany) | N/A (assisted and control were matched for surgical approach) | N/A (assisted and control were matched for implants used) |
Lauer21 | intraoperative navigation device vs unassisted | intraoperative navigation (Vector Visions2, BrainLab, Heimstetten, Germany) | Mostly coronal, infraorbital and intraoral; medial TC or medial eyebrow incision for isolated medial wall, 3 used preexisting scars and intraoral | non-preformed, 60% PDS, 25% none, 10% calvarial bone plus PDS, 5% titanium mesh |
Nkenke22 | individualized preformed CAD/CAM glass-bioceramic implants vs non-preformed titanium mesh | No intraoperative navigation used | Assisted: 60% subciliary, 30% TC, 10% TC + lateral canthotomy; Control: 50% subciliary, 50% TC | preformed CAD/CAM glass-bioceramic, non-preformed titanium mesh |
Scolozzi23 | individualized preformed CAD/CAM titanium mesh vs non-preformed titanium mesh | No intraoperative navigation used | N/A | preformed titanium mesh, non-preformed titanium mesh |
Guo24 | individualized preformed CAD/CAM titanium mesh vs calvarial bone | No intraoperative navigation used | TC | preformed titanium mesh, non-preformed calvarial bone |
