What is transconjunctival approach?

What is transconjunctival approach?

The transconjunctival preseptal approach is most effective surgical access to infraorbital rim and orbital floor and even to medial orbital wall. This approach is surgically similar in providing exposure and access, but aesthetically superior to other approaches and has minimal complications.

What is periorbital approach?

Overview. There are two periorbital approaches to the superolateral rim of the orbit: Lateral eyebrow approach (supraorbital eyebrow approach, A) Upper-eyelid approach (upper blepharoplasty or supratarsal fold approach, B)

What is a transconjunctival incision?

Transconjunctival incision The transconjunctival incision is performed in a lateromedial direction. It can be performed preseptally or retroseptally. The lower eyelid is everted to identify the position of the lower tarsal plate through the conjunctiva.

What is the orbital septum?

The orbital septum is a fibrous membrane that extends from the periosteum of the orbit as the arcus marginalis and lies just deep to the orbicularis oculi muscle. In the upper lids, the septum fuses with the levator aponeurosis.

Where is periorbital located?

Anatomy design of the periorbital area The well-known anatomical classification divides the face into: upper face, mid face and lower face. At the boundary between upper and mid face is the periorbital area which also contains three zones (Figure 1).

Where is Preseptal?

Preseptal cellulitis occurs in the tissue of the eyelids and periocular region anterior (in front of) the orbital septum.

What is lower eyelid surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery — known as lower lid blepharoplasty — is a procedure to improve the sagging, baggy, or wrinkles of the undereye area. Sometimes a person will get this procedure with others, such as a facelift, brow lift, or upper eyelid lift.

Does lower blepharoplasty help dark circles?

Lower-eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is one of the most effective ways to treat baggy eyelids and dark circles. “If the problem is the shape of the lower eyelid and how light is hitting that area, surgery may be the best solution to improve the appearance of the eyelids,” Dr. Pacella says.

What is the difference between orbital cellulitis and periorbital cellulitis?

Periorbital cellulitis is an infection of the eyelid and area around the eye; orbital cellulitis is an infection of the eyeball and tissues around it.

What is a transconjunctival approach to the lower eyelid?

The typical (lower fornix) transconjunctival approach in the lower eyelid exposes the floor of the orbit and infraorbital rim as well as the upper edge of the anterior maxilla (A). Via a pre- or transcaruncular incision, the medial wall of the orbit behind the posterior lacrimal crest can be exposed (B).

What is inferior Transconjunctival orbitotomy?

Inferior transconjunctival orbitotomy is a versatile technique that provides a scarless, minimally invasive, and safe approach to extra and intracorneal orbital tumors. A lower eyelid forniceal conjunctival incision, when combined with a lateral canthotomy and inferior cantholysis, provides a panoramic exposure of the inferior and lateral orbit.

What is the purpose of lower fornix and medial Transconjunctival approach?

The combination of the lower fornix and the medial transconjunctival approach provides access to both previously mentioned areas at a time. If a canthotomy is performed in conjunction with the lower fornix transconjunctival approach, the lateral orbital rim and wall can additionally be accessed (C).
