| Popis: | PurposeOrbital exenteration is a radical oncological surgery that is usually indicated for advanced primary orbital tumors or invasion from local malignancy. We report a 5-year series from a tertiary head and neck center with particular focus on our ablative and reconstructive approach.MethodsWe performed a clinicopathological review of patients referred to Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Head and Neck multidisciplinary team for management input of an orbital malignancy during the period of 2013 to 2018. Cases involving local invasion from sinonasal malignancy were excluded. The reconstructive approach, perioperative complications, disease-free and overall survival were analyzed.Results27 patients were identified and of those treated surgically, a radical extended orbital exenteration was required in almost half (44.4%), with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common pathology (55.6%). A concurrent neck dissection and parotidectomy were commonly performed with confirmed or suspected regional disease, or in the presence of high-risk pathological features. This approach resulted in favourable 2-year overall survival in these advanced stage cases of 84.6% and disease-free survival of 73.2%, with 92% achieving a negative surgical margin. The majority of treated patients required a free flap reconstruction, especially when an extended exenteration defect or adjuvant treatment was anticipated. The anterolateral thigh flap was the most commonly used donor site, and we present our algorithm for reconstruction of these defects.ConclusionsA multidisciplinary approach to advanced orbital malignancy with a comprehensive approach to surgical resection and reconstruction results in favorable oncological outcomes and addresses functional and cosmetic patient rehabilitation. |
