Reconstruction of Anophthalmic Sockets With Pedicled Nasoseptal Flap. | LitMetric

Reconstruction of Anophthalmic Sockets With Pedicled Nasoseptal Flap.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

Servicio de Oculoplástica, Departamento de Oftalmología, Centro Médico Nacional "20 de Noviembre," Mexico.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: Patients who undergo eye removal often present with orbital soft-tissue insufficiency and contraction of the eye sockets. The most commonly used reconstruction strategy is grafting the orbit with free grafts, which is associated with the drawback of harvesting tissue from an unconnected site. This study describes the use of the vascularized nasoseptal flap in the reconstruction and enlargement of the contracted anophthalmic cavity in patients with severe or recurrent contracted eye sockets and evaluates its efficacy.

Methods: A sphenopalatine-pedicled flap from the nasal septum was harvested and mobilized into the anophthalmic orbit for the reconstruction, coverage, and enlargement of the socket in 17 patients with anophthalmic socket syndrome. Data regarding the demographics, preoperative status, postoperative findings, follow-up, outcomes, dates of mutilant and reconstructive surgery, and relevant clinical or imaging were collected.

Results: Krishna´s classification was used to assess the postoperative outcomes. The final rating improved in all patients at a median follow-up duration of 35 months. A greater impact was observed in patients who underwent reconstructive surgery before nasoseptal flap creation. Two minor complications occurred; however, major surgical intervention was not required. Implant extrusion was observed in 2 patients.

Conclusions: The novel strategy of applying nasoseptal flaps in the reconstruction of anophthalmic sockets results in improved socket grading and a low rate of recurrence (socket contracture or implant extrusion), and complications. The vascular nature of the flap makes it suitable for use in complex cases.
