[Surgical method and intraorbital foreign body extraction in 27 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the surgical method and intraorbital foreign body extraction.


METHODS
Individualized plan was made based on radiology and foreign body extraction was performed in 27 cases (27 eyes). The outcome of extraction was analyzed. Visual acuity, eye movement, and ptosis were recorded before and after the operation.


RESULTS
Intraorbital foreign bodies in the 27 eyes were extracted successfully, 24 eyes (88.9%) extracted once and the other 3 eyes (11.1%) twice. The follow-up was 3-24(9.39±6.25) months. Visual acuity increased in 13 eyes (48.1%), and invariable in 13 eyes (48.1%) at the last follow-up. Disturbance of eye movement was found in 18 (66.7%) and 15 (55.5%) eyes before and after the extraction, respectively. Ptosis was found in 2 eyes (7.4%) and 1 eye (3.7%) before and after the extraction, respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
Individualized plan is helpful for the intraorbital foreign body extraction and eye recovery.
