Total eyelid complex sparing orbital exenteration for mucormycosis.

Orbital exenteration is a radical surgery which involves complete removal of the orbital contents along with all or parts of the eyelid. However, the eyelid complex can be totally spared in cases of necrotising disease such as mucormycosis without compromising on exposure, or fear of devascularisation of the lids. We describe a total eyelid complex preserving orbital exenteration. Preservation of the total eyelid complex has the potential to speed up the healing process and provide dynamic functional and cosmetic rehabilitation.
