SS15 - Orbital Trauma Reconstruction with Custom Implants and Soft-Tissue Adjuncts

This session will focus on contemporary strategies to improve outcomes in orbital trauma reconstruction by combining custom implant technology with adjunctive soft-tissue techniques. Attendees will be introduced to practical decision-making criteria for when to use patient-specific implants, along with detailed descriptions of periorbital soft tissue procedures that enhance both functional and esthetic results. The session emphasizes how these techniques can be integrated effectively in clinical practice, highlighting common pitfalls and complication management. Advanced imaging and digital planning, while already widely adopted, will also be reviewed to reinforce best practices and ensure accurate application. By addressing gaps in surgical approach, outcome assessment and integration of evolving adjuncts, this presentation will provide learners with clinically relevant pearls that can be immediately incorporated into practice. The overall purpose is to close professional practice gaps in orbital trauma care by strengthening competence in case selection, enhancing operative performance with combined implant and soft-tissue strategies, and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
