Transconjunctival and transantral approaches are combined with antral wall bone graft to repair orbital floor blow-out fractures.
Orbital floor blow-out fractures in two patients were surgically repaired. The transconjunctival approach alone was unsuccessful in freeing the entrapped orbital contents, so the transantral approach with the use of antral wall bone graft was also used. The combined approaches produced good results. The transconjunctival approach supplemented with the transantral approach and bone graft may be a useful technique in the repair of orbital floor blow-out fractures.
