  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Enucleation is a critical surgical decision in ophthalmology.
  • Common indications include intraocular malignancy, trauma, and blind, painful eyes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review surgical choices, techniques, and complications associated with enucleation.
  • To discuss alternatives to enucleation and implant selection.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of enucleation techniques and outcomes.
  • Summary of controversies and results from the Controlled Ocular Melanoma Study.

Main Results:

  • Alternatives to enucleation include cryotherapy, laser, diathermy, chemotherapy, radiation, evisceration, and exenteration.
  • Implant materials range from synthetic to autologous tissues.
