Orbital Reconstruction: Management After Endoscopic Sinonasal Tumour Resection
摘要
To review current principles of orbital reconstruction after endoscopic endonasal resection of sinonasal tumours with orbital involvement, with emphasis on indications, reconstructive options, and functional outcomes after eye-sparing surgery.
Recent FindingsRecent studies support a selective, defect-based approach rather than routine reconstruction. Decision-making depends on defect location and extent, loss of structural support, periorbital status, and anticipated radiotherapy. The orbital floor and inferomedial orbit remain the most critical regions, whereas limited isolated defects of the medial wall, lateral wall, or roof may often be observed without rigid repair.
SummaryOrbital reconstruction after tumour removal has shifted from ablative replacement to preservation of support, function, and cosmesis. Although available evidence is largely retrospective, primary reconstruction appears to reduce late globe malposition in selected patients. Better defect reporting, radiotherapy-adjusted algorithms, and prospective multicentre studies are needed to refine indications and outcomes.
