Abstract

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to describe a surgical technique to repair an exposed orbital implant by posterior auricular muscle autograft. A retrospective review was conducted of four patients with an exposed orbital implant that were treated with a posterior auricular muscle graft. Four patients received posterior auricular muscle patch graft to the exposed orbital implant. The donor site healed with minimal scarring and remained well hidden. The graft incorporated fully into surrounding orbital tissue with no recurrent exposure at average of 13 month follow-up. The posterior auricular muscle autograft is a viable technique for repairing an exposed orbital implant.
