Terylene implant for enucleation and eviseration: a long-term follow-up.
A terylene implant, to which the tissues can be sutured directly, has been used after enucleation and evisceration since 1958. An advantage is that it can be implanted in the orbit as a secondary procedure some time after enucleation. It is easy to insert, gives fair motility and is well tolerated. It is a satisfactory implant for routine use.
