"Malignant" contracture of the eye socket.
A new method for reconstruction of "malignant" contracture of the eye socket is described using a simple procedure based on the principle of epithelial inlay. The lining consists of a free skin graft. No cumbersome external appliances for the prevention of contraction of the graft are used; hence the hospitalization is minimized. The results have been satisfactory.
