Experience of a UK Level One Trauma Centre in Orbital Floor Fractures: A Focus on the Surgical Approach and Lid-Related Complications

The two surgical approaches to access orbital fractures are transconjunctival and transcutaneous. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of orbital repairs with a focus on lid-related complications and their management. A retrospective analysis was carried out over a 5-year period, from January 2015 to January 2020, assessing all consecutive orbital repairs in our unit. Data was collected for variables including demographics, fracture pattern, surgical approach, and details of any post-operative complications.
