[Five hundred orbital plastic repairs: analysis of complications].
The paper analyzes complications due to 500 orbital plastic repairs for traumatic deformities. Biomaterials (cadaveric cartilage/bone, allograft for orbital wall plastic repair, or xenopericardium) were applied in all cases. The lost orbital volume was also compensated for by Carbotextim-M. Damage to the inferior oblique muscle was the severest intraoperative complication. The bulk of complications in the early postoperative period were transient and implant displacement in the late periods required its position correction only in 4% of cases. The implant displacement-associated risk factors were as follows: male sex, childhood, application of a solid material (cartilage, bone), and its attachment failure. Purulent processes were local and encountered in 2% of cases. The low incidence of severe complications, as well as permanently high functional and cosmetic outcomes (during as long as 98.2 months) suggest that biografting of the lower orbital wall is effective.
