[Double scleral covering evisceration].
OBJECTIVE
To describe a surgical technique for evisceration that allows the use of large size implants, reducing risk of exposure.


METHODS
We analize the results of 22 eviscerations with Medpor implants with double scleral covering.


RESULTS
We managed to use implants of 20 and 22 mm, sometimes in very small anophthalmic cavities, without complications.


CONCLUSIONS
Double scleral covering evisceration is a surgical technique that allows the use of large size implants, reducing the risk of exposure.
