Abstract

Dermofat grafts represent an alternative to alloplastic orbital implants and are used as primary or secondary implants. Advantages are their autologous nature without the risk of foreign body reaction and extrusion or possibly transmission of prions in combination with creating a flat and smooth surface in the socket even under difficult conditions with an excellent motility of the artificial eye. Disadvantages of dermofat grafts are the labor-intensive operative technique with a second operation site and a possible shrinking of the implant. The operation technique is presented in detail in an operation video, which is available online.
