Minimally Invasive Approach to Orbital Trauma

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Minimally Invasive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Abstract

With the equipment advances, the minimal invasive techniques can be applied in new surgical fields and have more applications. In this chapter, we would like to present a minimally invasive technique for treating orbital blowout fractures. The technique described has been practiced by two medical centers, The Barzilai medical center, Israel and The Jacobi Medical Center, NY, USA since 2007. Our results presented a high success rate with minimal rate of complications, thus our technique is a safe way with minimal morbidity for treating orbital floor fractures.
