    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Orbital Surgery

    Background:

    • Traditional orbital surgical approaches can lead to complications such as lower eyelid ectropion and skin shrinkage.
    • Limited exposure can hinder effective orbital decompression, fracture repair, and tumor removal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new surgical technique for enhanced orbital exposure.
    • To present an alternative approach for orbital decompression, fracture repair, tumor exploration, and reconstruction.
    • To highlight the technique's advantages in avoiding specific eyelid complications.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel surgical approach for accessing the orbit is detailed.
    • The technique focuses on providing broad and ready surgical visualization.

  • Specific procedural steps are outlined to achieve optimal exposure.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique provides extensive and accessible exposure of the orbit.
    • It effectively avoids common complications associated with other orbital approaches, including lower eyelid ectropion and skin shrinkage.
    • The method results in minimal cosmetic deformity post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • This new technique offers a safe and effective method for various orbital surgeries.
    • It improves surgical access while mitigating risks of eyelid complications and cosmetic defects.
    • The approach is versatile for decompression, fracture repair, tumor management, and reconstruction.
