摘要:
Deformity of the orbital region and contraction of the eye socket were encountered in 3 patients who in their infancy underwent exenteration of the orbit and postoperative irradiation for the treatment of retinoblastoma. These major problems were attributed to the less-vascularized cicatricial conjunctiva left in place. To solve these disadvantages, a microvascular technique using a free radial forearm flap was adopted. A large permanent eye socket was achieved and depression deformity of the orbital region was corrected in a one-stage operation. This is, to our knowledge, the first report on the use of a free vascularized skin flap for “malignant contracture” of an anophthalmic eye socket. The excellent cosmetic results of this method are demonstrated.
