ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the use of combined mucous membrane and hard palate mucosal grafts in the reconstruction of contracted eye socket. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Thirteen eyes of 13 patients with contracted sockets underwent socket reconstructive surgery with combined mucosal membrane and hard palate mucosal grafts.RESULTS:
The average follow-up period was 33 months. Five of 13 patients required additional surgery after initial socket reconstruction. However, all patients who underwent socket reconstruction with hard palate mucosal grafts were able to wear a cosmetically acceptable ocular prosthesis postoperatively.CONCLUSION:
Combined mucosal membrane and hard palate mucosal grafts can be effectively used in the reconstruction of contracted sockets.
