摘要

目的:眼眶外伤会造成严重的功能、审美和心理损失。我们研究了眼眶摘除术后患者的心理社会挑战。设计:回顾性描述性研究设置:阿克拉Korle-Bu教学医院眼科诊所受试者:10例存活患者，眼眶摘除后至少6个月。结果:所有患者均对手术的医学效果满意，但50%的患者对手术的美容效果有强烈的不适或不满意。60%的患者遭受了不受欢迎的评论，50%的患者遭受了来自亲密朋友和亲戚的不舒服的凝视。60%的人在朋友和亲密关系的陪伴下并不感到不舒服。结论:我们的研究结果要求对患者进行心理辅导，同时也需要寻找改善其美容的方法。

PSYCHO-SOCIAL CHALLENGES OF PATIENTS FOLLOWING ORBITAL EXENTERATION.

Objective: Orbital exenteration results in devastating functional, aesthetic and psychological losses. We studied the psycho-social challenges of patients following orbital exenteration. Design : Retrospective descriptive study Setting: Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, eye clinic, Accra Subjects: Ten surviving patients, at least six months post orbital exenteration. Results: Though all the patients were satisfied with the medical results of the surgery, 50% felt strongly uncomfortable or dissatisfied with the cosmetic effect of the surgery. Sixty percent of the patients suffered unwelcome comments and 50% uncomfortable stare from close friends and relations. Sixty percent were not uncomfortable in the company of friends and close relations. Conclusion : Our findings call for a counseling plan for our patients while it is also necessary to find ways of improving their cosmesis.
