“…Although many studies have compared different transcutaneous approaches (Bähr et al, 1992;Rohrich et al, 2003) or transconjunctival versus transcutaneous approaches (Appling et al, 1993;Werther, 1998), few have compared a transcutaneous approach with the swinging eyelid directly (Ben Simon et al, 2005). The latter has been adopted with success for different procedures in the lower orbit by different authors (Shemen and Meltzer, 1986;Manson et al, 1987;Rootman et al, 1995).…”

“…In this case, the entropion resolved almost completely after digital massage. According to the literature, there is an increased risk of developing an ectropion when using a subciliary incision [23,24]. In our series, we fortunately did not encounter any serious problems when using a subciliary approach, except for one case with mild ectropion, but of course the scar was slightly visible in some patients and therefore we want to emphasize the preseptal transconjunctival approach.…”

In the present article, the authors want to present the results of a retrospectively evaluated consecutive series of patients with surgically treated isolated orbital floor fractures (OFF; "blow-out fractures") concerning the functional outcome after OFF and give detailed recommendations based on the clinical and radiological findings. A series of 60 patients with isolated OFF over a 5-year period needing surgically repair at the same institution were evaluated. Patient data were analysed in terms of preoperative and postoperative clinical parameters and radiological findings. The analysed parameters were type of fracture, diplopia, gaze restriction, enophthalmos, materials used for repair, surgical approach and timing of the surgical intervention. Burst type fractures were more often found than punched-out fractures. The most frequently used surgical approach was a preseptal transconjunctival approach. An overall decrease of gaze restriction (93%), diplopia (89%) and enophthalmos (86%) was observed. According to the fracture size, we used Ethisorb patches in smaller fractures and resorbable or titanium meshes or autologous bone in larger fractures in most cases. Patients who underwent surgery more than 7 days after the trauma showed better results with regard to an improvement of diplopia and motility disturbances than patients who were treated immediately. In indicated cases, the surgical repair of OFF leads to very good results if the anatomical and functional properties of the orbit and its contents are respected. The applied strategy and means presented in our study proved of value and can therefore be recommended.
