Iris nodules are frequently noted as clinical manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1 but the other intraocular manifestations are rare. The purpose of this study is to present a patient with a pht...
A 17-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 from infancy underwent the enucleation of phthisic left eye and also had the resection of eyelid subcutaneous mass lesions on the left side for a cosmet...
In review of enucleated eyes of 14 patients in the literature, buphthalmic eyes with early-onset glaucoma on the unilateral side was clinically diagnosed in 9 patients who frequently showed varying ex...
In summary of the 15 patients with neurofibromatosis type 1, including the present patient, buphthalmic or phthisic eyes with no vision were enucleated for cosmetic reasons and showed choroidal neurof...
To describe the early health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients who have undergone an eye removal surgery....
A descriptive monocentric study was conducted. Patients with a surgical indication of eye amputation were enrolled. Three standardized surveys were given to each patient 1-3 months after the surgery. ...
Between January 2021 and January 2022, in the Ophthalmology Department of the University Hospital of Besançon (France), 20 patients who were going to undergo an eye removal surgery were included. The ...
The patients who had undergone an eye amputation had an early reduction in their HRQoL in all its domains, especially in the vision, mental, and physical specific quality of life. These patients need ...
To retrospectively investigate clinical characterization and the long-term postoperative outcomes of retinoblastoma (RB) patients receiving enucleation with primary orbital implantation in early infan...
The clinical and follow-up data of 42 RB patients receiving enucleation with primary orbital implantation in early infancy at Beijing Tongren Hospital from December 2009 to January 2020 were analysed....
Enucleation combined with primary orbital implantation promoted survival and was safe with few and minor complications such as increased secretion, upper eyelid ptosis, and sunken eye sockets which we...
The outcomes of the combination of enucleation and primary orbital implantation for pertinent RB patients in early infancy are generally satisfactory with few and minor complications, high safety, app...
Evaluation of the number of enucleations and eviscerations performed in Germany and the orbital implants used....
Analysis of the quality reports of German ophthalmological clinics for the years 2012-2021 provided by the Federal Joint Committee (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss, G‑BA)....
Almost 10 times as many enucleations (8368) as eviscerations (975) are performed in Germany. After enucleation, alloplastic implants are used most frequently (44.6% alloplastic, no further specificati...
In Germany, significantly more enucleations than eviscerations are performed. Alloplastic orbital implants are preferred for primary reconstruction following enucleation....
This study investigated the description and feasibility of a surgical procedure for enucleation-exenteration of the equine eye via the supraorbital fossa. A preliminary study was performed on both eye...
To compare the orbital volume between enucleated and contralateral, uninvolved orbits over a 5-year period in patients with unilateral retinoblastoma who underwent enucleation with hydroxyapatite (HA)...
A retrospective review was performed on the clinical records and radiographic images of unilateral retinoblastoma patients who underwent enucleation with primary HA implantation from 2003 to 2020 at a...
A total of 124 patients (73 males) with HA implants following enucleation were included. Overall, the unaffected orbit trended toward having a greater volume compared with the enucleated orbit, but th...
Patients treated with enucleation and primary HA implant placement for unilateral retinoblastoma did not display significant asymmetry in orbital volume on 5-year postenucleation MRIs, suggesting that...
We investigated whether magnetic resonance imaging can visualize the distribution in the vitreous cavity via eye drops of ophthalmic solutions, gadolinium-based contrast agent, and...
To investigate the influence of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) and different surgical approaches on the intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after creation of the curvilinear circular capsulo...
Prospective experimental WetLab study carried out on enucleated porcine eyes. IOP was measured before and after CCC with the iCare Rebound tonometer (iCare ic200; iCare Finland Oy, Vantaa, Finland). T...
Using the Utrata forceps the IOP dropped from 63.65±6.44 to 11.25±3.63 mm Hg during the CCC. The use of different OVDs made no difference. Using the 23 g microforceps the IOP dropped from 65.35±8.15 t...
Using the sideport for the creation of the capsulorhexis leads to a lesser drop in IOP during this maneuver compared to the main incision in enucleated porcine eyes. The use of different OVD has no si...
Retinoblastoma (RB) is an intraocular malignant tumor detected in early childhood with variable global impact. Histopathological classification of the tumor in enucleated globes with RB is the key for...
This is a retrospective study conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) and King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia of all RB cases who underwent enucleation o...
Thirty-one patients who had an enucleated globe with RB that fit into the above classification were included. Sixteen were males and 15 were females. The median age was 14 months (IQR = 14 months). Mo...
In patients with 8th AJCC histopathological classification of pT2a, chemotherapy following enucleation might not be justified. The outcome in our untreated group of patients did not differ from the tr...
To determine the direct medical costs and cost-effectiveness of globe salvage compared with primary enucleation in patients with advanced retinoblastoma....
Patients with International Classification of Retinoblastoma groups C-E retinoblastoma at a single institution from 2001 to 2021 were categorized into two groups: primary enucleation and globe salvage...
Of 74 group C-E eyes of 70 patients, 55 eyes underwent primary enucleation and 19 eyes underwent globe salvage, 12 of which ultimately underwent secondary enucleation. Patients who underwent globe sal...
Incurring additional costs may save the eye in advanced retinoblastoma, but the possibility of secondary enucleation should be disclosed for informed decision making. Despite this risk, globe salvage ...
