The secondary composite temporoparietal lobe-modification.

Orbital defects after malignant tumor removal represent a major problem for satisfactory reconstruction. Treatment and surgical reconstruction according to the regular surgical protocol improves with each new case contributing to continuous improvement of surgical techniques in order to achieve better reconstruction of the defect. In our modification in 20 patients there was presented a new method of reconstruction of the defect where the orbits included also a part of the muscle (sternocleidomastoid muscle) for better stabilization at the desired position on the immediate ocular prosthesis installation site in order to quickly overcome the postoperative defect after orbital exenteration. Application of modified temporoparietal slice gives good functional and cosmetic results, and is recommended to be used for reconstruction of defects after orbital exenteration.
