Resorbable Material for Pediatric Orbital Floor Reconstruction.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2018 October
INTRODUCTION: The use of resorbable materials is becoming more popular for pediatric orbital floor reconstruction. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the various materials used in pediatric orbital floor reconstruction.
METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed to identify all relevant articles reporting complications following pediatric orbital floor reconstruction. The search included published articles in three electronic databases-Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed starting from database establishment to July 2017. Primary endpoints were enophthalmos, diplopia, and infection. Resorbable material was compared to autologous grafts and nonresorbable material.
RESULTS: A total of 14 studies containing 248 patients were included in this review. Fifty-four (21.8%) patients had reconstruction performed with autologous grafts, 72 (29.0%) patients with resorbable material, and 122 (49.2%) patients with nonresorbable material. Resorbable materials had the lowest rate of postoperative enophthalmos (3/52; 5.8%) and the highest rate of postoperative diplopia (19/72; 26.4%). In contrast, nonresorbable materials had the lowest rate of postoperative diplopia (5/122; 4.1%), the highest rate of postoperative enophthalmos (14/102; 13.7%). Autologous reconstruction was associated with an 11.1% (4/36) rate of postoperative enophthalmos and a 22.2% (12/54) rate of postoperative diplopia. Nine cases (8.8%) of postoperative infection were documented with nonresorbable materials. No cases of infection were reported with autologous grafts or resorbable materials.
CONCLUSION: Newer resorbable implants are safe and have a similar complication profile as traditional autologous grafts in pediatric orbital floor reconstruction.
