The “Opercular” Approach to Orbital Reconstruction after Orbital Exenteration Following Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mucormycosis: A Novel Method

Background Rhino-orbital cutaneous mucormycosis (ROCM) leading to orbital exenteration can be debilitating functionally as well as psychosocially. Orbital reconstruction following exenteration for mucormycosis has centered on volume filling with local, regional, or free flaps. This case s...

description Background Rhino-orbital cutaneous mucormycosis (ROCM) leading to orbital exenteration can be debilitating functionally as well as psychosocially. Orbital reconstruction following exenteration for mucormycosis has centered on volume filling with local, regional, or free flaps. This case series is built on the original idea of a bilayered operculum at the orbital inlet.
