ORTIZ SILVEIRA, Marlenys et al. Surgical-prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with atypical anophthalmic cavities . MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.1, pp. 75-80. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 377 patients with atypical anophthalmic cavities, attended in the Oculoplasty Department from "Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" General Hospital and the Rehabilitation Clinic of Oral Maxillofacial Prosthesis from "Saturnino Lora" Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January 2004 to September 2010, aimed at evaluating their surgical prosthetic rehabilitation. From the total of cavities, 13 were congenital and 364 were acquired: 75 with non-aesthetic eyeballs and 289 without them; in the last group 189 eviscerations, 98 enucleations and 2 exenterations were carried out. One hundred and seventy patients had orbital implants with Cuban coral porous hydroxyapatite (HAP 200): 125 primary and 45 secondary in the case material. Surgical prosthetic rehabilitation was good in 86,0% of the patients without orbital implants and in all those who received it, from which it was concluded that surgical rehabilitation cannot be separated from the prosthetic one.
