title: [Correction of hypoplastic orbit after eradiation therapy with the technique of ostectomy and flap transplantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To introduce an effective method for reconstruction of hypoplastic orbit caused by eradiation therapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  The orbital reestablishment was carried out by using the orbital ostectomy to enlarge the orbital cavity and a flap transferring for the socket reconstruction and the repair of the concave deformity around the orbit.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twelve treated patients demonstrated the satisfactory improvement.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The ostectomy combined with the flap transplantation may be available for reconstruction of the hypoplastic orbit.
