A medical team has successfully performed a delicate surgery at Umm Al Quwain Hospital to reconstruct the left eye socket of a 35-year-old patient using medical 3D printing technology.
The patient was severely injured, causing diplopia and restricted left eye movement when looking up. After a CT scan, more than 50% of the bone under the left eye socket was fractured.
Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Mohamed Farid Abdelwahed and his team performed the surgery after designing and 3D printing a model of the patient’s left eye socket by reconstructing a metal mesh.

The surgery was performed by a team of maxillofacial surgeons from the Umm Al Quwain Specialty Dental Centre, part of the Emirates Health Service (EHS).
Dr. Fatema Naser Muraddad, director of the center, said the successful facial reconstruction is a new addition to EHS’s success in such procedures.
The service has been available since 2021 and is used to treat a variety of surgical cases, including dental implants, jaw fracture surgery, and orbital fractures.
