“…Historically, enucleation was considered within the first 10 to 14 days following severe globe trauma with extensive prolapse of uveal tissue because of concerns that the risks of sympathetic ophthalmia and harm to the remaining eye were thought to be greater than the likelihood of recovering useful vision in the traumatized eye. 7,8 Despite to the possibility of causing SO, anophthalmic socket also has complications include superior sulcus defect, conjunctival surface changes, implant exposure, fornix/socket contraction, and eyelid malposition. 4,5 This literature reviews will discuss indication, technique, and decision with regard to enucleation or evisceration after ocular trauma.…”

Evisceration and enucleation have been acceptable therapeutic modalities to treat not only severe ocular trauma but also various ocular conditions, such as intraocular tumors, endophthalmitis, and blind-painful-cosmetically disfiguring eyes, over the last two centuries. Clinical indications and choices of procedure, whether enucleation or evisceration, vary among institutions, surgeon experience, and severity of structure loss. In the past, enucleation has been preferred by most surgeons for various reasons, including the fear of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) after evisceration. Despite the possibility of causing SO, anophthalmic socket also has complications, including superior sulcus defect, conjunctival surface changes, implant exposure, fornix/socket contraction, and eyelid malposition. This literature review will discuss indication, technique, and decision with regard to enucleation or evisceration after ocular trauma.
