Summary

This study presents a double scleral covering evisceration technique, enabling the use of large Medpor implants (20-22 mm) in anophthalmic sockets. This method effectively reduces the risk of implant exposure, even in small cavities.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Anophthalmic socket reconstruction
  • Management of small anophthalmic cavities

Purpose:

  • To describe a novel surgical technique for orbital evisceration
  • To facilitate the use of large orbital implants
  • To minimize implant exposure complications

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 22 eviscerations using Medpor implants with double scleral covering was performed.
  • The technique successfully accommodated large implants (20 mm and 22 mm) in challenging, small anophthalmic cavities.
  • No complications related to implant exposure were observed.

Impact:

  • Establishes a reliable surgical method for accommodating larger orbital implants in evisceration.
