Abstract
Orbital exenteration, first described by Georg Bartisch in 1583 [2], and popularized in the modern era by Arlt, is a disfiguring operation that involves total removal of the orbital contents with partial or total excision of the eyelids. Cosmetic reconstruction is a major dilemma in exenterated patients, especially in the younger age group. Eyelid-sparing techniques, retention of conjunctiva, and preservation of the periorbita are methods that have been introduced as modi- fications of exenteration in an effort to aid facial rehabilitation. The exenteration procedure can be classified as follows: • Subtotal exenteration:
