Comparative outcomes of cryoextraction and conventional extraction in anterior and lateral orbitotomy for orbital cavernous venous malformations (so-called cavernous hemangioma).

Cryoextraction is associated with shorter operative times and favorable functional outcomes in the surgical management of orbital cavernous venous malformations, particularly when using the swinging eyelid approach.

When applied in appropriately selected cases, cryoextraction represents a safe and effective technique that may reduce surgical manipulation and postoperative morbidity.
