Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Orbital defects often result from midfacial trauma or sinu-orbital tumor resection.
  • Reconstruction of medial or inferior orbital walls is frequently necessary.
  • Traditional materials like titanium mesh can lead to epithelialization issues.

Observation:

  • Three patients with extensive medial and inferior orbital wall resections due to malignomas underwent reconstruction.
  • A myofascial transposition flap was utilized, sourced from the suprabrow region.
  • This technique involved creating a horizontal fascial flap from the suprabrow to stabilize the eyeball.

Findings:

  • The suprabrow flap successfully reconstructed large combined defects of the medial and caudal orbital walls.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Good epithelialization of the reconstructed area was observed 12 months post-surgery.
  • No functional deficits were reported in the reconstructed orbital regions.

    • Implications:

    • The suprabrow fascial flap is a valuable new method for orbital wall reconstruction.
    • Utilizing autologous tissue offers advantages in healing and integration.
    • This technique addresses limitations of traditional materials in sinu-orbital defect repair.
