A variety of approaches have been documented in the literature for accessing the infraorbital rim and orbital floor in cases of fractures involving orbitozygomatic maxillary complex fractures. Various transcutaneous approaches like infraorbital, subtarsal, and subciliary approaches have been employed traditionally to access these regions. However, significant postoperative complications are associated with these approaches. The transconjunctival approach to access the infraorbital rim and orbital floor has recently been re-evaluated. We present a case of a patient with a zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture in which the infraorbital rim was fixed using a transconjunctival retroseptal approach.
