| Abstrakt: |
Rehabilitation of facial defects is a daunting task, requiring an individualized design of the technique for each patient. The disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. Various treatment modalities are available, one of which is the use of implants. Although implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a superior outcome, it may not be advisable in all the patients due to economic factors. The present article describes a reconstructive approach for a patient with exenterated right eye using silicone orbital prosthesis which improved his psychological, physical, social, functional, emotional and spiritual needs. Multidisciplinary management and team approach are essential in providing accurate and effective rehabilitation. |
