this study was made on fifteen patients who will undergo fracture repair of the zygomaticomaxillary complex.
Postoperative patient evaluation performed with specific attention paid towards, accessibility the exposure duration(time from incision till exposure of the field), esthetic appearance, post-operative pain, post-operative edema, orbital movement, wound healing, scarring infection, and the post-operative ocular complications such as ectropion, entropion, enophthalmos, scleral show and corneal abrasion.
Postoperative clinical examinations along with radiographic examination was done to evaluate the position of zygoma and determine the adequacy of fracture reduction.

| Y modification of transconjunctival approach | Procedure | Section of the orbital septum is done at the Arcus Marginalis and subperiosteal dissection done to expose the infraorbital rim and orbital floor. Subsequently, canthotomy of the superficial limb of the lateral canthal ligament is performed and subperiosteal dissection is carried out to expose the fracture at the frontozygomatic region. The cutaneous Y will transform into a box when retracting its corners, increasing the working area and allowing access of the frontozygomatic (FZ) suture, lateral orbital wall, body of the zygoma, infraorbital rim, and floor of the orbit with a single approach. A small upper vestibular incision is placed to expose the fracture at the zygomatic buttress. Reduction and fixation of fractures in a regular fashion are accomplished. |

| postoperative edema | the postoperative edema was categorized subjectively into mild (just noticeable), mild to moderate (more obvious edema without occlusion of palpebral fissure), moderate to severe (edema partially occluding palpebral fissure), and severe (edema totally occluding palpebral fissure). | after 1 week |
| change in postoperative pain | assessed through a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),(34) (0-1=none,2-4=mild,5-7=moderate,8-10=severe). | 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week |
