What are Eye Prosthesis and Enucleation, Evisceration Surgery Methods?
Eye prosthesis surgeries are surgical interventions that are generally applied in cases where the eye loses its visual organ function and shrinks or if there is a tumor in the eye, the eye needs to be removed.
It is applied by emptying the inside of the eye or it is applied by removing the entire eye. We call the surgical evisceration surgery performed by emptying the eye, and the enucleation surgery if the surgery is performed by removing the entire eye.
In these surgeries, both in enucleation and evisceration, if the eye is emptied or removed, a gap will be formed in the orbital cavity.
This gap needs to be filled in order to obtain more aesthetically pleasing results. Therefore, implants suitable for the size of the other eye of the patient are placed in the orbital pit during the operation.
