    Preoperative planning utilized CT and MRI scans, enabling precise tumor margin definitions and individualized implant designs.

  • 3

    The cohort consisted of eleven female patients with a median age of 52.2 years, most commonly presenting with exophthalmos.

  • 4

    Intraoperative adjustments to implants were made as needed, with verification of resection extent using flat panel imaging.

  • 5

    All procedures adhered to ethical standards, with formal approval obtained from the state research committee.
