Using the Transconjuctival Approach Alone Versus Using it Together With Lateral Canthotomy in Orbital Fractures

NCT03813732 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

All cases will undergo surgery under general anesthesia. Evaluation of patients with suspected orbital fracture should involve radiologic examination, motility test, diplopia field test and exophthalmometry. Plain X-ray films, although rarely used, with the Caldwell and Waters view may be done as a screening evaluation for possible fractures and foreign bodies. An orbital computed tomography, the gold standard in trauma, CT with contiguous thin axial and coronal sections should be ordered to confirm the diagnosis and plan for treatment

Postoperative care:

Proper postoperative instructions will be given the patient, in addition to the postoperative medications including antibiotics, corticosteroids and analgesics.

Conditions

  • Orbital Fractures

Interventions

PROCEDURE

orbital fracture

using the trans-conjunctival approach alone in restoring the esthetics compared with using it along in addition to lateral canthotomy which is important in providing wider surgical area
