    Summary

    A novel medial canthal ligament reconstruction method is presented, requiring an intact medial orbital wall and periosteum. This technique effectively treats telecanthus and post-neoplasm ablation defects.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Medial canthal ligament (MCL) defects can result from trauma, congenital conditions, or surgical resection of neoplasms.
    • Existing reconstruction methods may have limitations in certain clinical scenarios.

    Observation:

    • A new surgical technique for MCL reconstruction is described.
    • The method necessitates an intact medial orbital wall and orbital periosteum for successful implementation.

    Findings:

    • The presented technique has demonstrated utility in cases of medial canthal area neoplasm ablation.
    • The reconstructive principle is straightforward and yields effective outcomes.

    Implications:

    • This method offers a viable solution for telecanthus originating from diverse etiologies.
    • Potential for broader application in orbital and midface reconstruction.
