Risk Factors for Orbital Implant Extrusion after Evisceration

This study analyzed risk factors for extrusion of orbital implants after evisceration by comparing patients with and without implant extrusion. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records who underwent primary placement a single surgeon from January 2005 to December 2019 at Chungnam National University Hospital. Age, sex, underlying systemic diseases, axial length fellow eye, cause evisceration, endophthalmitis type, type size, preoperative computed tomography findings were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was used identify Results: Of 140 eyes patients, occurred in five (3.6%). Endophthalmitis (odds ratio (OR), 15.49; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.70 2038.56; p = 0.010), endogenous (OR, 18.73; CI, 3.22 125.21, 0.002), cellulitis 320.54; 29.67 44801.64; < 0.001), size 0.50; 0.30 0.79; 0.004), hydroxyapatite 0.07; 0.00 0.66; 0.016) univariate logistic analysis. Multiple identified as only factor 52.98; 2.18 15367.34; 0.009). Conclusions: Evisceration implantation is feasible option endophthalmitis, but should be taken into consideration. When performing patient cellulitis, secondary carried out any infection controlled.
