Abstract

The transconjunctival approach is used for the exploration and the treatment of the orbital floor fractures. There are two main surgical routes to this approach: retroseptal and preseptal dissection. The retroseptal approach offers a greater exposure of the orbital floor and the infraorbital rim, however, compared to the preseptal approach, it is associated with higher rate of lower eyelid complications due to the disturbance of the inferior conjunctivaes connective tissue. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the preseptal route in the transconjunctival approach.
