Anophtalmic socket reconstruction is a challenging problem in plastic surgery. We had described a prefabricated superficial temporal fascia island flap and used this technique in >50 enucleation patients with severe socket contraction ending in excellent or good results for 28 years (Altindas- 1 procedure). However, the flap was not suitable for the exenteration patients with complete eyelid lo...

Previous work has demonstrated the correlation of periorbital perfusion and stress levels in human beings. It has also been suggested that periorbital perfusion can be quantified through processing of thermal video. The idea has been based on the fact that skin temperature is heavily modulated by superficial blood perfusion. Proof of this concept was established for two different types of stres...
