Objective This retrospective study aims to evaluate the functional and visual outcomes of patients undergoing orbital floor fracture repair using titanium mesh implants. Methods Medical records of patients treated over four years for isolated or combined orbital floor fractures using titanium mesh were reviewed. Clinical outcomes assessed included diplopia, enophthalmos, ocular motility, and visual acuity, both pre- and postoperatively. Radiological evaluations were used to confirm anatomical restoration. Results A total of 25 patients (all males, mean age: 39.32 years) were included. Postoperative assessment showed significant improvement in diplopia in 72% (n = 18) and ocular motility in 68% (n = 17) of cases. Enophthalmos correction was achieved in 76% (n = 19) of patients. Visual acuity remained stable or improved in the majority of cases. Minor complications in the form of paresthesia were noted in 8% (n = 2) of patients, and visual complications were noted in 4% (n = 1). No major implant-related issues or infections were observed. Only 16% (n = 4) of patients required secondary intervention. Conclusion Titanium mesh is a reliable and effective material for repairing orbital floor fractures, offering favorable functional and visual outcomes with a low rate of complications. Its use facilitates accurate anatomical reconstruction and contributes to long-term orbital stability in adults.

Orbital trauma can result in significant complications, particularly when accompanied by foreign body entrapment. Wooden foreign bodies are rare but carry a high risk of infection and chronic inflammation. In these cases, immediate surgical intervention is critical for restoring orbital anatomy and preventing complications.

Surgical repair of orbital fractures comes with risks. One rare risk is interference with the actions of the superior oblique tendon-muscle complex causing an acquired Brown syndrome. We present the case of a 45-year-old man who developed acquired Brown syndrome after undergoing repair of a large orbital floor and medial orbital wall fracture using a titanium mesh implant.

: Orbital floor fractures are challenging to treat, due to the complex orbital anatomy and limited surgical access. Emerging technologies-such as virtual surgical planning (VSP), 3D printing, patient-specific implants (PSIs), and intraoperative navigation-offer promising advancements to improve the surgical precision and clinical outcomes. This review systematically evaluates and synthesizes current technological modalities with respect to their accuracy, operative duration, cost-effectiveness, and postoperative functional outcomes.

Background: Incidence of iatrogenic upper eyelid retraction (UER) caused by blepharoptosis overcorrection and improper blepharoplasty is increasing fast among Eastern Asians. The aim of this study is to present our experience using techniques of pretarsal cicatrix release, recession of levator-Müller's muscle complex, and lengthening of levator-Müller's muscle complex to correct mild to severe UER, and evaluate their anesthetic surgical outcomes.
Methods: Patients with UER who underwent surgical repair using the stepwise management strategy from December 2018 to June 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.
