Description
Orbital floor fracture treatment is challenging due to its anatomy, surgical approaches, and repair possibilities. Aim of study was to analyse treatment results in adult patients with isolated orbital floor fractures treated in P. Stradins Clinical University hospital (CUH) from 2019 till 2021.. All consecutive adult patients with isolated orbital floor fracture, who underwent surgical treatment in P. Stradins CUH from 1st January 2019 till 31st December 2021 were included in the study. All patients were treated using titanium mesh placed via subcilliar or transconjuctival approach. All patients had pre and postoperative CT scan. Orbital volume changes were measured before and after repairment and compared with intact orbit. Measurements was preformed using free of charge program 3D Slicer 5.0.3 r30893 / 7ea0f43 Supported by: NA-MIC, NAC, BIRN, NCIGT and the Slicer Community. All measurements were performed by one person. To determine the difference between orbital volumes before and after surgery and between healthy and affected orbital volume, the paired t-test was used (significance p < 0.05). In total 75 adult patients were included in the study, of them 56 underwent orbital floor reconstruction, in 19 patients’ surgery was not necessary. Orbital volume measurements were performed in 30 patients’ CT scans. 26 patients were excluded due to lack of data. Four patients had additional intervention.The difference between affected and healthy orbital volume before surgery was statistically significant, but after surgery the difference was not significant. The difference in affected orbital volume before and after surgery was statistically significant. Inter-rater mean difference between volumetric measurements was 2,55%. . The symmetry of orbital volume was restored after surgery, however, it would be advisable to introduce new technologies in P. Stradins CUH to facilitate and improve treatment methods and results.
