Abstract

Abstract: : Purpose: To compare hydrogel autoexpansile orbital implants to dermis fat grafting in the treatment of the pediatric porcine anophthalmic socket. Methods: Ten neonatal porcine subjects underwent unilateral enucleation within the first week of life. Five received dermis fat grafting and 5 received hydrogel orbital implants. At 2-month intervals to 8 months, all subjects underwent orbital CT scanning and conformer fitting. Results: At each 2-month interval, the hydrogel autoexpansile implants demonstrated greater bony orbital development than did the dermis fat grafting. Conclusions: Hydrogel autoexpansile orbital implants provide safe and reliable stimulation for bony orbital development in the pediatric porcine anophthalmic socket.
