Abstract:
Dressing the exenterated orbital cavity is difficult and time consuming for staff, traumatic to the healing wound, and painful for the patient, particularly when the wound is being left to granulate. We report the use of a silastic foam dressing which offers a number of advantages in this clinical situation.
