    Summary

    This study outlines ophthalmoplastic surgery principles for pediatric orbit and eye appendage abnormalities in 2300 patients. It recommends local tissue grafts and specific materials like Carbotextim and mersilene mesh for optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Pediatric orbit and eye appendage abnormalities require specialized surgical approaches.
    • Effective treatment strategies are crucial for both functional and aesthetic restoration in young patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish fundamental principles for ophthalmoplastic treatment in children.
    • To analyze treatment outcomes and follow-ups for a large cohort of pediatric patients with ocular abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of treatment results and follow-ups for 2300 patients aged 6 months to 18 years.
    • Preference for plastic repair methods utilizing local tissues and free autologous grafting (skin and mucosa).
    • Use of Carbotextim-carbonic felt for orbital contour repair and mersilene mesh for blepharoptosis.

    Main Results:

    • Successful application of local tissue grafts and autologous grafting for various orbital and eyelid abnormalities.
    • Effective use of Carbotextim and mersilene mesh in specific reconstructive scenarios.
    • Demonstrated improved cosmetic results with surgery after age 4, but early intervention by age 1 is vital for functional indications.

    Conclusions:

    • Ophthalmoplastic surgery principles for pediatric patients emphasize local tissue reconstruction and appropriate material selection.
    • Optimal timing for surgery balances cosmetic considerations (post-4 years) with functional necessity (by 1 year).
    • This approach ensures improved functional and aesthetic outcomes for children with orbit and eye appendage abnormalities.
