Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Orbital reconstruction presents significant challenges, especially when original anatomy is compromised.
  • Complex three- and four-wall orbital defects require specialized surgical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of techniques for complex three- and four-wall orbital reconstructions.
  • To evaluate different approaches, their advantages, and drawbacks.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative virtual surgical planning for assessing reconstruction options.
  • Evaluation of various surgical techniques for orbital defects.
  • Case presentation demonstrating a four-wall defect reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Patient-specific implants are recommended for solitary three- and four-wall orbital defects.
  • Optimized treatment protocols enhance predictability in orbital reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Complex orbital reconstructions benefit from meticulous preoperative planning.
  • The use of multiple patient-specific implants offers a predictable solution for challenging orbital defects.
