“…[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] In this series the majority of reconstruction was done with split thickness skin grafting, as our institute typically uses this technique for exenteration when done alone. 35 In cases of extended orbital exenteration involving bone removal, flaps are more commonly used at our institute and there were four cases of local/regional flaps, and nine free flaps done for cases of extended orbital exenteration.…”

“…About 4 months later, the skin over the implants is opened, healing of the skin around the implant is allowed to occur, and then the final magnets or framework for prosthesis fixation are fitted (Figure 1). The mould of the socket is taken at this stage and the prosthesis is made 44,45 (Figure 2). Osseointegration also occurs in irradiated orbits, but it is less reliable and it is advisable to delay implantation for at least a year following irradiation.…”

“…Tailored exenteration with lid-sparing surgery, 12 where possible, and the use of skin/muscle flaps, 13 split skin grafts, and osseointegrated orbital implants 14 have improved cosmetic outcomes, although most patients still prefer a patch! 15 Thyroid eye disease involves an inflammatory response with deposition of GAG in the orbit causing orbital congestion and proptosis.…”
