Enucleation is the surgical removal of the eye. It is one of the oldest ophthalmological surgeries. All the tissues and other connections are also separated from that eye. In this process the orbital structures are preserved. Cancers and other injuries can be the reason for taking up the decision of enucleation.
Evisceration is the surgical removal of the contents of the eyeball sparing the outer white covering. It preserves the muscles and nerves around it.
Placing an implant after evisceration or enucleation gives a good cosmetic outcome.
Exenteration is a step further where the eye as well as the entire globe is removed along with muscles, fat, nerves, eyelids and other connective tissues. Eyelid sparing exenteration is a skilled procedure and Dr. Harika is well trained in that.
The extent of surgery required depends upon the spread of the disease and its intensity.
