title: [Problems and countermeasures in orbital plastic and reconstructive surgery].
abstract: The great progress in orbital plastic and reconstructive surgery (OPRS) in China has been reached since the 21st century. However, obvious disparities exist between China and the developed countries in terms of the insufficiency of quality and quantity of surgeons of OPRS, lack of standardized and systematic training in China. It is necessary to pay attention to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of orbital deformities, master surgical techniques and selection of the right moment of OPRS, study on orbital repairing materials and tissue engineering bone. Other important measures to improve the level of OPRS in China would include considering the characteristic of OPRS, establishing standardized and systematic professional trainings for orbital plastic surgeon, and strengthening basic and clinical research in OPRS.
