Multidisciplinary Approach to Reconstruction of Orbital Trauma in Combat Settings: Ukrainian Experience During Wartime
Author: Olga Denisiuk
ePoster Number: 250,00
Purpose
To present a multidisciplinary approach to managing complex orbital trauma in wartime Ukraine, integrating advanced surgical planning and rehabilitation strategies in combat-related injuries.
Methods
Over the past three years, a team of oculoplastic, maxillofacial, ENT, neurosurgical, and plastic surgery specialists has collaborated to treat facial and orbital trauma. CT-based planning, 3D printing of patient-specific implants (PSIs), and collaboration with bioengineering firms (e.g., MEDCAD) were employed to reconstruct orbital and midfacial structures. Treatment strategies included primary globe-sparing repair or post-evisceration/enucleation orbital rehabilitation.
Results
Among over 1000 combat trauma cases managed, facial and orbital injuries accounted for ~25%. Customized PSIs enabled accurate reconstruction, optimal prosthetic fitting, and mobile orbital stumps. Cases included acute and staged reconstructions, with emphasis on function and aesthetics. Integration of surgical and rehabilitative care enhanced outcomes.
Conclusion
This multidisciplinary surgical model, developed under wartime conditions, demonstrates that high-standard orbital trauma reconstruction is achievable with collaborative expertise and modern technology. It restores both form and function, with attention to psychological recovery. This approach serves as a replicable model for conflict-zone care.
