  • Title: Diagnosis and treatment of complications of enucleation and orbital implant surgery.
    Author: Oberfeld S, Levine MR.
    Journal: Adv Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 1990; 8():107-17. PubMed ID: 2248699.
    Abstract:
    Careful surgical technique is important in enucleation surgery. Gentle and careful handling of tissues leads to superior cosmetic results and fewer complications. Extrusion of orbital implants may occur early or late. Small extrusions may be treated with a scleral patch, and larger extrusions with an acrylic sphere wrapped in fascia lata or donor sclera. Dermis fat grafts are also satisfactory secondary implants.
