    Summary

    Reconstruction of eye sockets in retinoblastoma patients using temporofascial island flaps showed no retraction after 1-5 years. This technique offers a successful solution for irradiated and exenterated orbits.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Retinoblastoma treatment can necessitate orbital exenteration.
    • Reconstruction of the orbit after exenteration is crucial for patient quality of life.
    • Previous reconstruction methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of temporofascial island flaps for orbital reconstruction in retinoblastoma patients.
    • To assess the long-term outcomes and complications of this reconstructive technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten patients with irradiated and exenterated orbits underwent reconstruction using temporofascial island flaps.
    • Follow-up ranged from 1 to 5 years.
    • Outcomes assessed included flap viability, absence of retraction, and donor site morbidity.

    Main Results:

    • All ten cases demonstrated successful reconstruction without orbital retraction.
    • No significant complications or sequels were observed at the donor sites.
    • The temporofascial island flap proved to be a reliable reconstructive option.

    Conclusions:

    • The temporofascial island flap is a precise and effective method for reconstructing irradiated and exenterated orbits in retinoblastoma survivors.
    • This technique offers excellent aesthetic and functional results with minimal donor site morbidity.
    • It represents a valuable addition to the reconstructive armamentarium for complex orbital defects.
