    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Enucleation requires precise optic nerve management.
    • Achieving adequate hemostasis and stump length can be challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a simple optic nerve clamp.
    • To facilitate optic nerve clamping without direct visualization during enucleation.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a novel, simple optic nerve clamp design.
    • Application of the clamp during the enucleation procedure.

    Main Results:

    • The clamp enables effective optic nerve clamping without visualization.
    • Improved hemostasis was observed post-clamping.
    • Facilitated excision of a longer optic nerve stump.

    Conclusions:

    • The described optic nerve clamp is a valuable tool for enucleation.
    • It enhances surgical control and stump management during eye removal procedures.
