Reconstruction of Orbital Wall Defects With Bioactive Glass Plates

Reconstructive surgery of the orbit is one of the most demanding challenges in head and neck surgery. In orbital defect reconstruction, a BAG plate seems to be a well-tolerated and reliable reconstruction material alternative; however, BAG plates are brittle and rigid, and cannot be molded and shaped by a surgeon. The use of a stainless steel template of equal shape and size to a BAG plate is recommended to ameliorate this deficiency.
