Orbital exenteration--simplified.

Abstract

In summary, a simplified technique of orbital exenteration has been presented. Results, with complications, in eleven cases have been described. The advantages of the operative method described are: (1) full thickness skin provides better cushion for self-retaining prosthesis, (2) skin with intact blood supply is much less likely to be rejected, (3) no donor site with added discomfort and care, (4) local recurrence of neoplasm is easily detected, (5) operating time shortened and (6) favorable patient acceptance.
