Abstract
- Orbital blowout fracture (BOF) is quite common in maxillofacial trauma. In recent years, with the development of endoscopic technique, endoscopic endonasal reduction (EER) has been widely performed for medial BOFs by otolaryngologists. After EER for medial BOF, nasal packing may be necessary for sustaining the reduced orbital contents. When we applied the packing method using Merocel® (Medtronic) in a glove finger, we found that it could reduce the operation time as well as difficulty. In addition, pain and bleeding during packing removal was minimized. In this article, we share our experience by introducing this novel packing method using a glove with Merocel®.
