[The results of cosmetic prosthesis in patients in relation to the method of formation of a moveable base for the prosthesis following removal of the eyeball].

Abstract

The paper analyses remote results of cosmetic prosthesis (more than 4 months) in 107 patients with anophthalmos. For formation of the stump after enucleation different methods were used: simple enucleation; enucleation with suturing of rectus muscles to the conjunctiva of the eye ball; enucleation followed by introducing a lavsane implant into the cavity of the Tenon's capsule; evisceration followed by introducing a lavsane implant into the cavity of the scleral disc. The best results were achieved in groups of patients when enucleation was followed by plastic formation of a mobile volume stump using a vascular wicker, crimped lavsane prosthesis.
