“…8,16,17 The aspirator also has efficacy for soft tissue removal including tumor excision in delicate regions including in the brain and orbit, although the benefits of the aspiration function were not specifically explored in this study. [33][34][35] Limitations to this study include the inconsistency in naming conventions of ultrasonic aspirators and the scarcity of primary studies on the topic. Many studies do not mention the specific device utilized and instead use general terminology such as piezosurgery or ultrasonic bone aspirator.…”

Background: The Sonopet iQ® Ultrasonic Aspirator is a surgical tool used for the fragmentation and emulsification of bone and soft tissue. Ultrasonic vibrations emulsify bone with cited benefits of decreased damage to surrounding soft tissue and minimal heat dispersion. Despite these potential benefits, there is a paucity of published articles on the safety and efficacy of the Sonopet® in the setting of craniofacial surgery. Methods: In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, MEDLINE and Pubmed were searched for articles that studied use of the Sonopet® for osteotomies in the craniofacial setting. Studies exclusively investigating soft tissue aspiration were excluded. Results: Out of 61 articles discovered, 22 met inclusion criteria and discussed a total of 816 patients. Of the 22 articles, there were 8 retrospective chart reviews, 7 case series, 5 cadaver models, and 2 case reports. Studies spanned multiple disciplines including otolaryngology, ophthalmology, craniofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Despite its frequent use in orthognathic and cranial vault remodeling surgery, only 4 studies described its use in these fields. The most commonly cited benefits of the Sonopet® were enhanced ergonomics and safety, discussed in 20 of the included studies. Eighteen studies claimed the Sonopet® was safer to use in surgically tight spaces compared to traditional drills. Four studies found decreased bone dust generation by the Sonopet® compared to conventional cutting devices. No studies reported an increase in postoperative complications due to the device. The most commonly cited disadvantage was the cost of the device, however, the majority of authors believed the benefits of the device outweighed the increase in cost. Conclusions: There is a dearth of research investigating the use of the Sonopet® in craniofacial surgery. Available studies emphasize the ergonomic and safety benefits of the Sonopet® and encourage expanded use of the device despite its cost.

Purpose: This article comprehensively compiles the latest technological and surgical advances in the realm of orbital surgery and their application in the pre-operative, intraoperative and post-operative periods. Methods: A detailed literature research supplemented by a manual search for the functions of image guidance, three-dimensional printing using computer-assisted manufacturing and ultrasonic surgical aspirator in orbital surgery was conducted and the pearls and pitfalls of the aforementioned tools have been enlisted and elaborated. Results: Navigation guided orbital surgery has grown to play a pivotal role in various orbital surgeries such as orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease, post-traumatic orbital fracture repair, and reconstruction, orbital tumor resection, optic canal decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy, extraction of orbital foreign body and endoscopic and lacrimal procedures, by offering enhanced surgical precision. Three-dimensional printing smoothens the potholed road to structural and functional orbital restoration post trauma or surgery. Ultrasonic aspirator is a handy addition, which sophisticates bone and soft tissue removal during decompression or tumor debulking and minimizes the drawbacks of its predecessor technologies. Conclusion: The role of image guidance, three-dimensional printing and ultrasonic surgical aspirator in orbital surgeries still bears the scope for further investigation and holds the future of digitally advanced surgical operation within the orbit at its helm.
