  • Title: Autogenous dermis-fat orbital implantation.
    Author: Guberina C, Hornblass A, Meltzer MA, Soarez V, Smith B.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1983 Oct; 101(10):1586-90. PubMed ID: 6354157.
    Abstract:
    We examined 52 consecutive patients who underwent autogenous dermis-fat implantation in anophthalmic sockets during the past five years. The results of the study show that 81% of the cases had no change in the volume of the graft during a mean follow-up period of 2 1/2 years, ranging from a minimum of six months to a maximum of five years. The remaining 19% underwent graft resorption to a varying degree. We consider dermis-fat graft a procedure of choice in cases of extruded or migrated implants, an alternative to a synthetic allograft in primary enucleations, and a useful procedure in selected cases of enophthalmic and contracted socket.
