Achieving optimal enucleation surgery outcomes involves conservative excision and proper implant placement. Evisceration is a viable alternative to enucleation when sympathetic ophthalmia is not a concern, offering cosmetic benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Enucleation surgery is a critical procedure for intraocular tumors.
  • Minimizing complications and maximizing cosmetic outcomes are key goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline principles for successful enucleation surgery.
  • To discuss alternatives and advancements in eye removal procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established surgical principles for enucleation.
  • Discussion of evisceration as an alternative.
  • Mention of novel techniques and materials in enucleation.

Main Results:

  • Conservative tissue excision and correct implant placement (spherical, behind Tenon's capsule, within the muscle cone) are crucial.

  • Avoiding overlap of extraocular muscles over the implant improves results.
  • Evisceration offers cosmetic and motility advantages over enucleation when sympathetic ophthalmia is absent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adherence to basic surgical principles optimizes enucleation outcomes.
    • Evisceration is a valuable alternative in specific clinical scenarios.
    • Ongoing developments enhance enucleation and orbital reconstructive surgery.
