  1. V pre = pre-surgery orbital volume in cm\(^3\); V sim = simulated post-surgery volume of orbital tissue in cm\(^3\); dV = V sim - V pre; dV rel = relative difference to the largest volume of released orbital tissue in % for a particular resection scenario, i.e. lateral, floor, or two-wall (L+F) resection
