Prediction of tissue decompression in orbital surgery [PDF]
Objective: A method to predict the relationships between decompressed volume of orbital soft tissues, backward displacement of globe after osteotomy, and force exerted by the surgeon, was proposed to improve surgery planning in exophthalmia reduction.

Surgical Temporal Action-aware Network with Sequence Regularization for Phase Recognition [PDF]
To assist surgeons in the operating theatre, surgical phase recognition is critical for developing computer-assisted surgical systems, which requires comprehensive understanding of surgical videos. Although existing studies made great progress, there are still two significant limitations worthy of improvement.

A finite element study of the influence of the osteotomy surface on the backward displacement during exophthalmia reduction [PDF]
Exophthalmia is characterized by a protrusion of the eyeball. The most frequent surgery consists in an osteotomy of the orbit walls to increase the orbital volume and to retrieve a normal eye position. Only a few clinical obser-vations have estimated the relationship between the eyeball backward dis-placement and the decompressed fat tissue volume ...

Retrospective study of spontaneous bone regeneration after decompression of large odontogenic cystic lesions in children [PDF]
Background/Aim. Surgical treatment of odontogenic cysts in childhood could be accompanied by injury of important anatomical structures. Even though enucleation is considered to be preferable treatment of odontogenic cysts, the specificities of ...

Intra-operative quantification of the surgical gesture in orbital surgery: Application to the proptosis reduction [PDF]
Proptosis is characterized by a protrusion of the eyeball due to an increase of the orbital tissue volume. To recover a normal eyeball positioning, the most frequent surgical technique (BROD technique) consists in the osteotomy of orbital walls combined with a loading on the eyeball to initiate tissue decompression.

Orbital and Maxillofacial Computer Aided Surgery: Patient-Specific Finite Element Models To Predict Surgical Outcomes [PDF]
This paper addresses an important issue raised for the clinical relevance of Computer-Assisted Surgical applications, namely the methodology used to automatically build patient-specific Finite Element (FE) models of anatomical structures. From this perspective, a method is proposed, based on a technique called the Mesh-Matching method, followed by a ...

Deep Geometry Post-Processing for Decompressed Point Clouds [PDF]
Point cloud compression plays a crucial role in reducing the huge cost of data storage and transmission. However, distortions can be introduced into the decompressed point clouds due to quantization. In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based post-processing method to enhance the decompressed point clouds. Specifically, a voxelized point cloud is

Balance decompression of orbit at endocrine ophthalmopathy. First experience
The publication presents the methodology of the combined approach to decompression of the orbit in the endocrine ophthalmopathy. The analysis of our own results of surgical interventions on the orbit was performed by resection of its bone walls. Patients
