This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Exenteration Procedure, Suture Eyelids (MO) Step two Make a transpalpebral incision around the orbit, Closure ???? Closure would consist of a layer of simple interrupted sutures, or a simple continuous suture, in the skin using synthetic non-absorbable suture material which would typically be removed within a 2 to 3 week period post-operatively, Locate the Optic Stalk ???? Once the optic stalk and its blood supply are located, a pair of right angled forceps is utilized to ligate the optic artery with absorbable (0 monofilament) suture material. Now the stalk is grasped and severed distally, Bluntly dissect 360° around the orbit Step Four Removing the eyelids and eyeball, muscles, adipose tissues, lacrimal gland fascia., Suture Eyelids (MO) ???? Suture the eyelids together to minimize contamination of the surgical field and leave the suture ends long so that they can be used to put traction on the eye throughout surgery., Bluntly dissect 360° around the orbit ???? Use a blunt dissection for 360° around the orbit and continue towards the caudal aspect of the orbit within the skull but also ensuring to avoid the entrance into the palpebral conjunctiva., Make a transpalpebral incision around the orbit ???? Make a transpalpebral incision, 1.5 cm from the margin of the eyelid outside of the extra ocular eye muscles and conjunctiva, around the orbit removing as much affected tissue as possible, Make a transpalpebral incision around the orbit Step Three Bluntly dissect 360° around the orbit, Removing the eyelids and eyeball, muscles, adipose tissues, lacrimal gland fascia. Step Five Locate the Optic Stalk, Locate the Optic Stalk Step Six Closure, Exenteration Procedure Step one Suture Eyelids (MO), Removing the eyelids and eyeball, muscles, adipose tissues, lacrimal gland fascia. ???? In the case of neoplasia, all neoplastic tissue is recommended to be removed. If the eye is removed for a non-neoplastic condition, such as irreparable trauma, some of the retrobulbar tissue can be left in order to reduce the amount of dead space as well as intraoperative hemorrhage
