Primary replacement for the management of exposed orbital implant.

: We present a series of primary orbital implant replacement for cases of implant exposure to describe our experience of this one-staged surgical approach. : This study reports on a one-stage technique which involved the removal of the exposed implant or dermis fat graft (DFG) and insertion of a secondary (replacement) in the same procedure, with a variety of materials, including autologous tissue. Re-exposure in a socket where a DFG was placed was defined as a new defect in the newly epithelialized conjunctiva or dehiscence of the dermis-conjunctiva junction.
