Endoscopic reduction of the fracture of the floor of orbit and support of the reduced fragments with the help of Foley Catheter. No surgical scar on the face. Foley's catherter available easily in all centers, a cheap, fast and effective substitute for a pack.
Yes. However, endoscopic reduction of fracture of orbital floor; and the use of Foley catheter to reduce the frature (Park, Chan Hum MD; Lee, Jun Ho MD; Hong, Seok Min MD; Lee, Ok Joo PhD
Reduction of Inferior Orbital Wall Fractures Using a Foley Catheter and an Endoloop
have been descrinbed.
But the use of endoscope to reduce the fracture and the use of Foley catheter to support the fragments have not been described in any of the published literature.

Yes. An easy method to reduce the orbital blow out fracture, which may be done in any center wioth minimum facilities. Most centers, even in developing countries, have endoscopic instruments. Hence this could be a procedure of choice to reduce blow out fracture of the orbit, which may be done even in presence of orbital lid oedema.
This may be published without any major changes. However, the time delay in intervention may be mentioned.

Have done endoscopic reduction of fracture of the orbital floor with BIPP packing through an inferior meatus antrostomy.
