MANTEIGA RODRIGUEZ, Mary Brenda; FALCON CABALLERO, Judith; MONTESINO ALVAREZ, Isis  e  SOTO RODRIGUEZ, Gladys. Evisceration with doble scleral coverage. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2006, vol.25, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3011.

35 patients aged 13-78 were included in the study. The loss of the eye globe is traumatizing for the patient and it is considered a failure for the ophthalmologist. After evisceration, the hydroxyapatite implant with the placement of an ocular prosthesis reports aesthetic benefits for the patient. All of them underwent cuadrisection with doble scleral visceration, one of the most spread surgical techniques at present, with a follow-up from 2 to 30 months.  It allows to place implants independently of the size of the cavity and to reduce their exposure risk. 

Palavras-chave : Evisceration; hydroxyapatite implant and scleral coverage.
