title: Orbital rehabilitation: surgical and prosthetic.
abstract: Restoration of facial symmetry is the goal in rehabilitation of an orbit disfigured by trauma or tumor extirpation. Successful rehabilitation may require replacement of repositioning of the orbital walls and/or construction of a complex orbital prosthesis. Preoperative communication among the head and neck surgeon, ophthalmologist, and maxillofacial prosthodontist is essential.
