    Summary

    This study compared eye removal surgeries (enucleation, evisceration, exenteration) in Malawi and Israel. Differences in causes, patient age, and sex reflect varying medical care, living standards, and cultural factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Global Health
    • Comparative Medicine

    Background:

    • Ocular oncology and trauma necessitate surgical interventions like enucleation, evisceration, and exenteration.
    • Understanding etiological variations is crucial for tailoring healthcare.
    • Limited data exists comparing these procedures across diverse socioeconomic and cultural settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the causes of enucleation, evisceration, and exenteration between Malawi and Israel.
    • To identify demographic and etiological differences in patients undergoing these major ocular surgeries.
    • To explore the impact of healthcare infrastructure and cultural factors on surgical indications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient records undergoing enucleation, evisceration, or exenteration.

  • Data collection on patient demographics (age, sex) and etiological factors.
  • Comparative statistical analysis between patient cohorts from Malawi and Israel.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in the primary causes for ocular surgeries were observed between the two countries.
    • Age and sex distributions of patients varied, suggesting different underlying disease patterns or access to care.
    • Factors such as trauma, infection, and malignancy presented with distinct frequencies.

    Conclusions:

    • The etiology of enucleation, evisceration, and exenteration is significantly influenced by country-specific factors.
    • Medical facility standards, socioeconomic status, and cultural norms play a critical role in the indications for these procedures.
    • Findings highlight the need for context-specific approaches in ocular oncology and trauma management globally.
