    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Orbital Surgery

    Background:

    • Transcutaneous approaches for inferior orbital surgery can lead to visible scarring and complications.
    • Transconjunctival surgery offers an alternative with improved cosmetic outcomes and potentially fewer risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the applications and benefits of the transconjunctival approach in inferior orbital surgery.
    • To highlight the advantages of transconjunctival techniques over transcutaneous methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical applications including blepharoplasty, orbital fracture repair, socket reconstruction, tumor excision, and decompression.
    • Discussion of combining transconjunctival approach with lateral canthal techniques.

    Main Results:
