Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to discuss the Y modification of transconjunctival approach in the management of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. Study design10 patients with unilateral ZMC fractures were included in this study. All patients were treated by two-point fixation through single incision by the Y modification of transconjunctival approach. The average follow up period was 6 months. The adequacy of exposure, cosmetic outcomes, intraoperative, and postoperative complications were evaluated. ResultsThe exposure was excellent in all patients with good cosmetic outcomes. None of the patient had any intraoperative complications; postoperatively, one patient had mild displacement of lateral canthus and other had mild hyperpigmentation of scar. ConclusionThe transconjunctival Y modification is a relatively new technique and provides excellent exposure and good esthetics. Yet, studies on large cohort needed to use this approach in the routine management of ZMC fractures.
