Infraorbital Rim and Orbital Floor Fractures; A Comparative Study between the Subciliary and the Preseptaltransconjunctival Approach
The most commonly used approaches to the infraorbital rim and orbital floor are the subciliary and
thtransconjuctival approach. In this study, we compared between both approaches in sixty patients. The
subciliary approach in-spite of it rarely leaves a noticeable scar but has significant instant of temporary
lower eye lid retraction that often results in permenanently severly inflamed and injured tissue. There is a
current trend towards more central placement of incisions with respect to the globe, which provide nearly
equal access and improved esthetics. Successful utilization of these approaches is dependent on surgeon’s
appreciation of the relationship between eyelid/periorbital anatomy, and lid’ocular function. That evolved
the transconjuctival approach that decreases the risk of postoperative eye lid retraction, with lower
incidence of ectropion in case of utilization of the transconjunctival approach versus the subciliary
approach.
Key Words: Orbital floor rim fracture, Subciliary, Preseptaltransconjunctival.
