Objective : To describe the dissection protocol for the pig head to obtain the\norbital tissue, as well as a simple setup for ophthalmic surgical wetlabs.\nMethods and Analysis : A descriptive study. The pig head dissection was\nperformed at the abattoir for convenience. The orbital tissue thus obtained\nwas used to set up the wetlab workstation. Results : A cost-effective, low\ntechnology, affordable set-up for ophthalmic surgical wetlab protocol was\ndeveloped. High resolution photographs of the procedure were taken and\nwere presented for ease of description. The dissection protocol was test-run at\nan ophthalmic surgical training workshop. Conclusions : The porcine orbit\nand the wetlab setup were available and affordable. The dissection in the abattoir\nis easy and reproducible. The orbit was used instead of the enucleated\nglobe and this ensures stability throughout surgical practice sessions.
