The article reviews data on the anatomical and topographic features of the lateral wall in the context of performing orbital surgery and presents a description of the surgical areas of the lateral wall that are most important for increasing the volume of the orbit: the lacrimal keyhole, the sphenoid door jamb, and the basin of the inferior orbital fissure. Particular attention is given to the topographic anatomy of the sphenoid door jamb as the most promising area for orbital decompression and transorbital access to the skull base.
