Retroauricular myoperiosteal autograft for orbital implant exposure: 11 years of experience.

Purpose: To describe our experience with retroauricular myoperiosteal autograft for surgical coverage of exposed orbital implants.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study, in which demographic and clinical data were compiled by reviewing the clinical records of anophthalmic patients with implant exposure treated with an autogenous retroauricular myoperiosteal graft at the Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular (IMO, Barcelona, Spain) over the period January 2007 to December 2017. Main outcome was the long-term coverage of implant after retroauricular myoperiosteal autograft; secondary outcome was the rate of post-surgical complications and management.
