Proplast effectively reconstructs orbital defects and corrects enophthalmos. This study suggests an 80-90% overcorrection for optimal orbital volume replacement.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmic surgery
  • Biomaterials science

Background:

  • Orbital reconstruction addresses structural defects and volume loss.
  • Enophthalmos, a sunken eye appearance, requires volume restoration.

Observation:

  • Proplast was used in 15 orbital reconstruction cases.
  • Applications included orbital floor fractures, phthisical enophthalmos, and anophthalmic enophthalmos.

Findings:

  • Proplast implantation yielded satisfactory results in all 15 cases.
  • A suggested 80-90% overcorrection rate is recommended for optimal orbital volume.
  • Average follow-up was 13 months.

Implications:

  • Proplast is a suitable material for orbital floor reconstruction.

  • It effectively serves as a volume replacement material in the orbit.
  • Further research may refine overcorrection guidelines for Proplast orbital implants.
