Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Reconstructive surgery

Context:

  • Severe contracted eye sockets and anophthalmos present significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Traditional methods may not adequately restore function and aesthetics.
  • Free flap reconstruction offers a potential solution for complex cases.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of free flap reconstruction in patients with contracted eye sockets and anophthalmos.
  • To assess the surgical technique, outcomes, and patient satisfaction.

Summary:

  • This study involved 21 patients with contracted eye sockets or anophthalmos who underwent one-stage eye socket reconstruction using free flaps.
  • Forearm free flaps were used in 19 patients, and scapular flaps in 2, with microvascular anastomoses.

  • Hydroxyapatite implants were selectively used for intraorbital support.
  • All flaps were successfully transferred, with follow-up ranging from 4 to 42 months.

    • Impact:

    • Free flap reconstruction resulted in successful flap survival and improved cosmetic results in all patients.
    • Well-fitted eye prostheses were achieved, enhancing patient quality of life.
    • This technique represents a useful alternative for treating severe contracted eye sockets.
