A Modified Orbital Implantation Technique in Enucleation

Orbital Implants Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of the Functional and Cosmetic Outcome of Enucleation With Rectus End-to-end Suturing Surgical Technique in Coralline Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implants

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To assess the functional and cosmetic outcomes of enucleation with rectus end-to-end suturing surgical technique in hydroxyapatite orbital implants

Clinical Trial Description

To assess the functional and cosmetic outcomes of enucleation with rectus end-to-end suturing surgical technique between 2005 and 2009. All the patients underwent primary enucleation and implantation of non-wrapped HA implants using a technique that involves drawing the ends of the rectus muscles anteriorly and suturing them into a cross-shape in front of the implant. Main outcome measures included occurrence of pain or discharge, soft tissue problems, implant motility, upper lid position, and patients' satisfaction. ;
