ABSTRACT

Introduction: The orbital implants, such as spheres of hydroxiapatite obtained from certain marine corals, are used to achieve cavity volume and greater mobility of the prostheses. Methods: In the Medical Surgical Research Center, a four-section technique was introduced in 2001 for all patients who underwent an elective evisceration. Results: The patients were predominantly males and still at working age. Conclusions: They were generally using small spheres, yielding an excellent rehabilitation in most patients and few complications.
