RESUMO
PURPOSE: To describe a combinatory technique made of Mustardè cheek advancement flap and paramedian forehead flap as a reconstructive option after orbital exenteration. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent orbital exenteration and subsequent reconstruction with this technique at our Head and Neck Department, Divisions of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, at San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy. RESULTS: Three patients were treated with the aforementioned technique, following orbital exenteration due to malignancies. All of them were affected by recurrent diseases arising from the ocular components or periorbital structures: one basal cell carcinoma and two squamous cell carcinomas. Excellent result was achieved considering skin texture and colour match, aesthetic results and intra and post-operative complications (only minor, surgically controlled haemorrhage and minimal dehiscence subsequent to defective healing occurred). CONCLUSION: The proposed technique can be considered by the head and neck reconstructive surgeon as a good option in extended orbital exenteration.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever os casos de exenteração orbitária de um hospital terciário brasileiro. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, envolvendo pacientes submetidos à exenteração orbitária no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, entre os anos de 1993 a 2016. As cirurgias foram realizadas sob anestesia geral, por equipe multidisciplinar composta por oftalmologistas, otorrinolaringologistas e cirurgiões de cabeça e pescoço. Resultados: Foram estudados 14 casos de exenteração orbitária, com média de idade de 63,36 ± 13,18 anos e nove homens (64,3%). Todas cirurgias foram realizadas para tratamento de tumores malignos, sendo mais frequente o carcinoma espinocelular (7 casos - 50,0%). Os sítios primários mais frequentes foram as pálpebras (50,0%), seguida pela conjuntiva (28,6%). A maioria das cirurgias foram do tipo exenteração estendida (57,1%), com cicatrização por granulação espontânea (64,3%). A sobrevida em 1 ano foi de 78,6% e em 5 anos de 71,4%. Conclusão: O carcinoma espinocelular foi a principal causa de indicação de exenteração orbitaria, sendo as pálpebras o sítio primário mais frequente. O procedimento mais realizado foi a exenteração estendida, com a grande maioria alcançando margens livres.
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe causes of orbital exenteration in a Brazilian tertiary hospital. Methods: A retrospective study was done, involving patients submitted to orbital exenteration at the Clinical Hospital of Botucatu Medical School, between the years of 1993 to 2016. The surgeries have been performed under general anesthesia, by a multidisciplinary team, composed by ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons. Results: Fourteen cases of orbital exenteration occurred in the period of the study, with a mean age of 63.36 ± 13.18 years and nine were men (64.3%). All exenteration were due to malignant tumors, being more frequent the squamous cell carcinoma (7 cases - 50.0%). The most common primary sites were the eyelids (50.0%) followed by the conjunctiva (28.6%). The majority of the surgeries was extended exenteration type (57.1%) and most of the reconstructions was made by spontaneous granulation (64.3%). The survivor rate in 1 year was 78,6% and in 5 years was 71.4%. Conclusion: The main cause of orbital exenteration was squamous cell carcinoma and the most frequent primary site was the eyelids. Extended exenteration was necessary for the majority of cases, most of them with free margins.

Portador de carcinoma espinocelular da conjuntiva teve a lesão removida, com recorrência em outra localização. O paciente recebeu ciclos de 5-Fluoruracila como tratamento adjuvante à remoção cirúrgica, apresentando evolução desfavorável que chegou à exenteração orbitária. São feitos comentários quanto ao uso de antimitóticos no tratamento destas lesões.
A case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva is presented. The lesion was removed with recurrence in another conjunctival site. The patient received cycles of 5-Fluorouracil as adjuvant treatment to the surgical removal and presented unfavorable evolution, requiring orbital exenteration. Comments are made on the use of antimitotic drugs in the management of these lesions.
