Abstract:
:The authors reviewed their experience with 429 cases of orbital exenteration between 1963 and 1993. Apart from the 22 cases operated in concert with other physicians, 407 cases were operated by an ophthalmologist and spontaneous granulation technique was used. Total or eyelid-sacrificing exenteration was carried out for lesions involving the eyelids and for recurrent/infiltrative malignant tumors. Two hundred and thirty-seven cases received total exenteration. The remaining 192 cases were treated with eyelid-sparing or subtotal exenteration. In each case, full exenteration was performed with the removal of the periosteum. Secondary tumors were the most frequent indication for exenterations accounting for 349 (81.3%) cases. Among the secondary tumors, there were 173 eyelid, 104 intraocular, 56 conjunctival tumors, 15 nasopharynx and one maxillary sinus carcinomas. The second leading indication was primary orbital tumors (50 cases, 11.7%). Of the primary orbital tumors, 35 were rhabdomyosarcomas, nine were neurogenic tumors, two were fibrocytic tumors, two were vascular tumors, one was teratoma and one was primary melanocytic tumor. The remaining cases included 16 lacrimal fossa tumors (3.7%), 10 lymphomas (2.3%) and four (1.0%) inflammatory pseudotumors. Squamous cell carcinoma was the single most frequent indication for which exenteration was carried out, accounting for 30.3% of the cases. Spontaneous granulation proved to be a simple technique and produces cosmetically better results for patients not wearing prosthesis.
