A triple-layered closing technique using the recti muscles to augment implant coverage in eye enucleation after maxillofacial radiotherapy: A case report.

Eye enucleation (EE) of a previously irradiated orbit can lead to difficult wound closure due to the soft tissues fibrosis such as Tenon's capsule and conjunctiva. We, here, report a technique modification for EE surgery after facial radiotherapy that may decrease implant exposure by using recti muscles native tissue to reinforce the anterior implant coverage. A 71-year-old African male presented in 2003 a right orbital extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type.
