  Author(s): Sara Abd El Meged Nage*
  
  Background: Enucleation is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the eye and anterior optic nerve, usually with the extraocular muscles retained and sewn to the implant. To avoid long-term complications and ensure optimal long-term function and cosmesis of an ophthalmic socket, meticulous surgical technique is required. Objective: To evaluate the ptosis incidence in porous versus nonporous orbital implants after enucleation. Materials and methods: In this study, 50 patients had primary enucleation with orbital implant placement. Patients were recruited from the Menoufia University Hospital's ophthalmology outpatient clinic between August 2017 and August 2019. Patients were divided into two groups, after enucleation hydroxyapatite orbital implant was used (Group I) and acrylic orbital implan.. View More»
