Summary

Evisceration is a surgical method for eye removal while preserving the sclera of the eye. This is employed in cases of acute endophthalmitis, phthisis bulbi, or other causes of blind, painful eye without a known or suspected malignancy. Advantages of this surgery over enucleation include preservation of orbital anatomic relationships and a technically faster procedure. Prior to surgery, unless the posterior segment can be visualized, imaging must be acquired. Various techniques of scleral preservation or modification have been described and can be selected based on surgeon preference and patient factors.
