Abstract

The various method have been used in reconstruction of the anophthalmic socket. Dermis-fat graft as an orbital implant is a relatively new approach. Dermis-fat graft restores the volume lost by enucleation, gives additional conjunctival lining and is permanent, with a minimal chance of absorption. Dermis-fat graft was used in reconstruction of an ophthalmic socket in our hospital. We found it successful procedure in case of primary enucleation, because it is permanent and it preserves the conjunctiva.
