JUNCEDA-MORENO, J; SUAREZ-SUAREZ, E  and  DOS-SANTOS-BERNARDO, V. The use of a prolene double mesh for orbital wall reconstruction. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.8, pp.471-474. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: Patient with a recurrent carcinoma of the nasal fossae affecting the internal orbital wall. The intraorbital content was not affected. The orbital wall was reconstructed with a prolene double mesh anchored to the periosteum. Discussion: Prolene mesh as a substitute of the orbital wall. Good stability and isolation of the intraorbital structures were observed. Ocular motility was completely normal after surgery without prolene mesh displacements. The prolene double mesh is a good surgical option to replace missing bone in the reconstruction of the internal orbital wall.
