Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Orbital floor fractures are common injuries.
  • Surgical repair is often necessary to restore orbital function and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate surgical techniques for orbital floor fracture repair.
  • To highlight the efficacy of subciliary and smile-crease incisions.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical exploration via eyelid incisions (subciliary or smile-crease).
  • Two-plane incision for orbital rim exposure.
  • Removal of orbital contents from the sinus.
  • Placement of an alloplastic implant to cover the fracture.
  • Closure of periosteum over the implant and skin with fine sutures.

Main Results:

  • These surgical approaches provide adequate exposure of the orbital floor.
  • Excellent postoperative cosmetic outcomes are achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Subciliary and smile-crease incisions are effective for exploring orbital floor fractures.
  • The described techniques yield satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.
