Expert consensus on navigation-guided unilateral orbital fractures and orbital floor reconstruction techniques / 中华口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Orbital fractures and orbital floor reconstruction surgery is characterized by limited surgical exposure and high risks. Before the advent of digital technology, the design and implementation of the surgical scheme of orbital floor reconstruction surgery mainly depended on the intuitive understanding of imaging and the clinical experience of the surgeons, with strong unpredictability and experience dependence.Surgical navigation systems with real-time positioning and imaging functions, when used in orbital reconstruction surgery, can detect the real-time intraoperative position, avoid risks, and assist locating the reconstruction position to ensure the accuracy of orbital reconstruction, with the help of a preoperative surgical plan. Many studies have confirmed its effect. Unilateral orbital fractures and orbital floor reconstruction surgery is one of the earliest and most widely used surgical techniques in maxillofacial surgery. Experts from the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Committee of the Chinese Stomatological Association have fully discussed and formulated this expert consensus on navigation-guided unilateral orbital fractures and orbital floor reconstruction techniques, to standardize the clinical surgical procedures and promote its application.
