Abstract

|
Orbital blowout fracture (BOF) is quite common in maxillofacial trauma. In recent years, withthe development of endoscopic technique, endoscopic endonasal reduction (EER) has beenwidely performed for medial BOFs by otolaryngologists. After EER for medial BOF, nasalpacking may be necessary for sustaining the reduced orbital contents. When we applied thepacking method using Merocel® (Medtronic) in a glove finger, we found that it could reducethe operation time as well as difficulty. In addition, pain and bleeding during packing removalwas minimized. In this article, we share our experience by introducing this novel packingmethod using a glove with Merocel®.
