Reconstruction of the orbit with a temporalis muscle flap after orbital exenteration.
Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol
March 2015
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how the temporalis muscle flap can be used for reconstructing the area after orbital exenteration, which is the surgical removal of the eye and surrounding tissue due to cancer.
- It includes data from 13 patients over a 20-year period who had the procedure due to various malignant tumors, with follow-ups showing no complications at the donor site.
- The findings suggest that using the temporalis muscle flap is effective for closure without interfering with the monitoring for cancer recurrence.
