Orbital box osteotomy : is a surgical procedure used to correct abnormal eye socket shape or placement. It involves repositioning one or both orbits (the bones holding the eyes). This operation can help in reshaping the orbits, which means that widely spaced eyes can be moved closer together, and bringing the orbits forward can also mean that the eyes sit deeper in the skull so they are less likely to be damaged.
This procedure is primarily indicated to correct hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes), but it can also be used to correct vertical or horizontal dystopia due to congenital, pathologic, or traumatic abnormalities. Patients who may benefit from this operation include those with conditions such as hypertelorism, cranio-fronto-nasal dysplasia, fronto-nasal dysplasia, midfacial cleft, and orbital dystopia.
The surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon and a neurosurgeon working together. The bones are cut to move the orbit in the desired direction, and the bones are held in the new position with plates and screws. Most patients are in the hospital for 10-14 days after a box osteotomy.
Extremely invasive surgery , but if succeeded it can be an ascension just look at the example above
