Reduction of orbital floor fracture is performed to align the orbital rim and restore the orbitalvolume. The approaches used in the reduction of orbital floor fracture are classified into threetypes: transorbital, transantral and intranasal approach. Each of them has limitations, such ashypertrophic scar formation, facial hypoesthesia and difficult access with manipulation. Con-trastively, the prelacrimal approach is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a bettersurgical view of fracture site than the three types mentioned. It also provides direct access tothe fracture site. We would like to suggest the prelacrimal approach as a new option for orbitalfracture reduction.
