Orbital rehabilitation: surgical and prosthetic.
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.
