Purpose:
To report the results of Mersilene mesh wrapped hydroxyapatite orbital implantation.
Materials And Methods:
Records of 63 patients operated between April 2002 and March 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Parameters studied included sex, cause of enucleation, length of follow-up after operation, implant exposure, secondary implantation, and surgeon experience. Student's t-test and χ(2) were used for comparison group having implant exposure and those without implant exposure.
Results:
The rate of exposure with use of Mersilene mesh was found to be 4.7%. Gender and cause of enucleation did not influence incidence of implant exposure in this study. The surgeon related factor, reported in terms of oculoplasty surgeon and non-oculoplasty surgeon, was a statistically significant factors that affected implant exposure.
Conclusion:
Mersilene showed favorable results in wrapping of hydroxyapatite orbital implants.
