title: [Double scleral covering evisceration].
abstract: 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.
