Transorbital approach: a bibliometric analysis from 1948 to 2024

1

The transorbital approach is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to access intraorbital structures and the skull base.
2

The first documented transorbital surgery in neurosurgery was performed by C.H. Frazier in 1912.
3

Endoscopic transorbital surgery was introduced in 2010, providing a safe method to access the anterior skull base.

Numerous studies have reported outcomes of various transorbital techniques, but prospective clinical data remain limited.

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of transorbital approach literature from 1948 to 2024.
