PURPOSE: To explore the method and effect of degloving approach in the treatment of nasal-orbital-ethmoid (NOE) complex fracture surgery. METHODS: Eleven eases of unilateral nasal-orbital-ethmoid fracture (NOE) were selected from Medical Center of Stomatology, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 6 were orbital fracture, 5 were nasal fracture. All the patients were treated open reduction and rigid internal fixation or rhinoplasty via midfacial degloving approach. RESULTS: Eleven patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months, all patients had transient nasal crusting and bleeding, 1 case had traumatic epiphora, 4 eases had infraorbital temporary numbness, 1 ease of crooked nose. CONCLUSIONS: The degloving approach can achieve the advantages of a widely exposed field for operation, no facial sear, and no complications such as nasal vestibular stenosis. It is worthy of wide clinical application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
