“…It has been a widespread practice to delay orbital implant as a second surgery in the context of infection, due to the potential risk of implant extrusion and exposure. 3,[56][57][58][59][60] The incidence of implant exposure or extrusion in infected eyes following evisceration was reported to be as high as 54%. 56,60 Elevated white blood cell levels may reflect more severe inflammation in the conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule, which may theoretically predispose to implant exposure or extrusion.…”

“…Evisceration is indicated in severe endophthalmitis when there is no chance of preserving vision. It has been a widespread practice to delay orbital implant as a second surgery in the context of infection, due to the potential risk of implant extrusion and exposure 3,56–60 . The incidence of implant exposure or extrusion in infected eyes following evisceration was reported to be as high as 54% 56,60 .…”

“…3,[56][57][58][59][60] The incidence of implant exposure or extrusion in infected eyes following evisceration was reported to be as high as 54%. 56,60 Elevated white blood cell levels may reflect more severe inflammation in the conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule, which may theoretically predispose to implant exposure or extrusion. Bee et al 61 previously reported an association between preoperative white blood cell level and implant exposure.…”
