    Summary

    Autogenous dermis-fat implantation is a successful orbital implant procedure for anophthalmic sockets, with 81% of patients showing stable graft volume long-term. This technique is a valuable option for various socket reconstruction needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Anophthalmic sockets often require volume augmentation or reconstruction.
    • Dermis-fat grafting is a common technique for orbital implant placement.
    • Evaluating graft stability and outcomes is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term volume stability of autogenous dermis-fat grafts in anophthalmic sockets.
    • To determine the efficacy of dermis-fat grafting for various socket conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 52 patients undergoing dermis-fat implantation.
    • Mean follow-up period of 2.5 years (range: 6 months to 5 years).
    • Evaluation of graft volume changes and clinical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 81% of grafts demonstrated no significant volume change.
    • 19% of grafts experienced partial resorption.
    • Successful outcomes reported for extruded/migrated implants and primary enucleations.

    Conclusions:

    • Autogenous dermis-fat grafting offers excellent long-term volume stability in anophthalmic sockets.
    • It is a reliable alternative to synthetic allografts and effective for socket revision.
    • Dermis-fat grafting is a versatile procedure for managing diverse anophthalmic socket challenges.
