Abstract

Many surgical methods for the reconstruction of orbital floor fractures have been reported, and theseinclude transorbital, transantral and transnasal endoscopic approaches, among others. The choice of surgical approach and materials for the reduction of orbital blowout fractures depends on the surgeon's experience and preference. For the cases of large orbital floor fractures, reduction has beenperformed most frequently through the transantral approach, and the herniated orbital tissue generally has been supported by asilastic block, silastic tube or urethral balloon catheter. However, the transantral approach has significant drawbacks that includethe requirement of removal surgery, displacement of materials, and inflammation of the maxillary sinus. To overcome these negative effects, the authors used fibrin glue tosecure the reduction through the transantral approach in two cases of patients with orbital floor fractures.
