Translation of "Enukleation" in English

Enucleation may be required to remove a blind and painful eye.

I'm gonna need to do an immediate enucleation.

Six patients had tectonic conjunctival grafts, 4 patients had enucleation.

Background: According to the literatur volume substitution of the orbit after enucleation is essential.

Up to now, none of the patients required a further brachytherapy or enucleation.

Removal of the affected eye (enucleation) is the suggested treatment.

The information provided to the patients by the ophthalmologist after enucleation was also regarded as poor.

In one case, enucleation was necessary due to bulbus hypotony and consequent phthisis.

This paper presents data on the incidence and extent of orbital growth retardation after enucleation in man.

In the second case a ruthenium 106 plaque was applied since the patient refused an enucleation.

Background: Enucleation of the globe is the most often used therapeutic modality in the treatment of retinoblastoma.

In addition, a painful neovascular glaucoma with devastating visual loss developed, thus prompting us to perform an enucleation.

Introduction: Naturally produced coralline hydroxyapatite implants has been used since 1993 in our clinic after enucleation.

After enucleation a good integration of IPE cells into the RPE layer was noted.

Usually this benign tumor is diagnosed after enucleation of the involved eye.

Susceptibility analysis showed imipinem, ciprofloxacin and amikacin to be the most effective antibiotics in endophthalmitis, the final evolution was enucleation and evisceration in 15 patients.

Results: Vitrectomy before enucleation showed in all three cases intraoperative conglomerations of pigmented cells in the posterior pol of the vitreous room, which were histologically identified in the vitreous aspiration biopsy as proliferative melanoma cells.

Irreversibly blind eyes can be treated by evisceration (removal of the internal material from the eye), or by enucleation with intrascleral prosthesis — removal and subsequent replacement of the eye with an artificial eye.

After enucleation (6- 24 h postmortem) the eyes, including the anterior intraorbital part of the optic nerve, were fixed in a 4% solution of formaldehyd (PBS) and examined in the following 48 h. Thereafter, the anterior chamber was inspected with a slit lamp and the eyes were cut equatorially.

In the third case we performed an external beam radiotherapy of the affected orbit after enucleation.

Leaves enucleation less waste, implying that the adenoma not grow again and the rate of reoperation is 1 in 100 patients 10 years old.

Conclusions: Resection of large uveal melanomas either after proton beam irradiation or with adjuvant ruthenium brachytherapy are effective and save alternatives to mono radiotherapy or enucleation.

Other highlights provided at our Department include holmium-laser lithotripsy of urinary calculus, laser ablation and enucleation of the prostate, and brachytherapy (iodine-seeds) for the treatment of prostate cancer.

In addition to that our data suggest that a history of severe and intensive ocular pain before enucleation may be an important cofactor for the development of phantom eye symptoms.
