Abstract:
Immediate placement of a silicone ball intraorbitally after enucleation prevents contraction of the orbit and retraction of the eyelids. The author placed the implant in the muscular cone behind the scleral shell, which prevented the frequent extrusion of the ball, and the intact attachment of the rectal muscles to the sclera was conducive to satisfactory motility of the ocular prosthesis. 8 cases received this modality of implantation with good results during a followup of 6～39 months. The author started using hydroxyapatite balls recently with promising success.
