title: Periorbital soft-tissue and socket reconstruction.
abstract: Deformities of the periorbital soft tissue and socket after trauma or infection may involve the bony framework, orbital contents, and periorbital soft tissues, requiring careful evaluation. Soft-tissue reconstruction necessitates the appreciation of a three-dimensional defect.  Structural reconstruction in conjunction with prosthetic replacement of the globe requires careful planning. Three cases illustrating problems and results after reconstructions are presented.
