Do long-term follow-up of blowout fractures of the orbital floor reconstructed with a polyglactin 910/PDS implant?
Reconstructive surgery of the orbit is one of the most demanding challenges in maxillofacial surgery. For traumatic defects of the orbital floor, reconstruction using a polyglactin 910/PDS implant (Ethisorb(™)) seems to be a reliable method for the repair of small-to-moderate defects.
In our experience, the use of androgen ablation does not impact on late toxicity following high dose 3D-conformal radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
