Correction of the contracted eye socket and orbitozygomatic hypoplasia using postauricular skin flap and temporal fascial flap.
The authors corrected a contracted eye socket and orbitozygomatic hypoplasia simultaneously, secondary to previous surgery and radiotherapy. A one-stage surgical reconstruction was undertaken using both a postauricular skin flap and a temporal fascial flap, which were rotated for eye socket reconstruction and bone graft coverage. Hydroxyapatite was inserted as an onlay bone graft substitute to enlarge the orbitozygomatic region. The authors' experience with 12 patients resulted in contours that were satisfying and encouraging. f1
