    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Maxillofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • Medial maxillectomy is a surgical procedure for removing tumors or diseased tissue in the midface.
    • Original techniques may present challenges in orbital management and reconstruction.
    • Enhanced visualization of the surgical field is crucial for complete tumor resection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe technical modifications to the medial maxillectomy procedure.
    • To improve orbital retraction, nasolacrimal drainage system reconstruction, and orbital content reapproximation.
    • To simplify the surgical process and enhance visualization of the posterior surgical specimen.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of specific technical modifications to the standard medial maxillectomy.
    • Focus on techniques that facilitate improved orbital retraction.
    • Description of methods for reconstructing the nasolacrimal drainage system.
    • Explanation of techniques for reapproximating orbital contents to the bony orbit.

    Main Results:

    • The described modifications enhance orbital retraction capabilities.
    • Improved reconstruction of the nasolacrimal drainage system is achieved.
    • Effective reapproximation of orbital contents to the bony cage is facilitated.
    • The techniques simplify the overall surgical procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Technical modifications significantly enhance key aspects of medial maxillectomy.
    • These advancements improve patient outcomes through better surgical control and reconstruction.
    • The simplified procedure leads to better visualization, crucial for oncologic resection.
