Abstract

Objective: To introduce an effective method for reconstruction of hypoplastic orbit caused by eradiation therapy.

Methods: The orbital reestablishment was carried out by using the orbital ostectomy to enlarge the orbital cavity and a flap transferring for the socket reconstruction and the repair of the concave deformity around the orbit.

Results: Twelve treated patients demonstrated the satisfactory improvement.

Conclusions: The ostectomy combined with the flap transplantation may be available for reconstruction of the hypoplastic orbit.
