Purpose:
To describe a surgical technique for evisceration that allows the use of large size implants, reducing risk of exposure.
Material And Methods:
We analize the results of 22 eviscerations with Medpor implants with double scleral covering.
Results:
We managed to use implants of 20 and 22 mm, sometimes in very small anophthalmic cavities, without complications.
Conclusions:
Double scleral covering evisceration is a surgical technique that allows the use of large size implants, reducing the risk of exposure.
