Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Trauma surgery

Background:

  • Orbital wall defects often result from trauma.
  • Reconstruction is crucial for restoring function and aesthetics.
  • Maxillofacial reconstruction requires durable and adaptable materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of titanium mesh sheets in orbital wall defect reconstruction.
  • To assess the long-term outcomes of using titanium mesh for orbital fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized titanium mesh sheets for orbital wall defect repair.
  • Included defects up to 2.5 x 2.5 cm.
  • Followed patients for a mean of 24 months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated successful use of titanium mesh sheets.
  • Effective for orbital floor and medial wall blow-out fractures.
  • Showed positive outcomes in maxillofacial reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Titanium mesh sheets are a successful option for orbital wall reconstruction.
  • This material offers a valuable solution for complex orbital and maxillofacial trauma.
  • Further supports the use of titanium mesh in reconstructive surgery.
