A novel surgical technique provides wide access to the inferior orbit by mobilizing the maxillary antrum. This approach effectively addresses retrobulbar and orbital floor tumors with no cosmetic impact.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Tumors in the inferior orbit and retrobulbar space pose surgical challenges.
  • Limited surgical access can compromise tumor resection and increase complication risks.

Observation:

  • A new surgical approach was developed for the inferior half of the orbit.
  • This technique involves osteotomies to release the maxillary antrum's roof and anterior wall, preserving vascularity.

Findings:

  • The osteoplastic flap, with its blood supply intact via the masseter muscle, allows wide exposure for tumor removal.
  • The mobilized bone segment is repositioned and secured with wiring, ensuring structural integrity.

Implications:

  • This method offers improved surgical access for complex orbital tumors.
