Abstract
Reconstruction of orbitomaxillary defects poses many operative challenges because it requires consideration of cosmetic as well as functional elements: reestablishing facial symmetry while constituting the orbital volume and preserving involved neurovascular structures. The development of patient-specific polyetheretherketone implants have revolutionized complex craniofacial reconstruction due to its adaptability to anatomic constraints and accommodation of vital structures. Herein, we described 2 cases of orbitomaxillary reconstruction using PEEK implant with novel modifications to preserve the infraorbital nerve with optimal cosmetic outcomes and minimal postoperative morbidity.
