Abstract

Purpose To compare the indications, surgical techniques, and operative outcome between two 100-patient populations operated on for evisceration or enucleation with a 10-year interval. Methods This retrospective study involved 100 patients operated on between 1987 and 1990 (Group 1) compared with another 100 patients operated on between 1996 and 2000 (Group 2). Group 1 included 64 males and 36 females, mean age 49 years; Group 2 included 60 males and 40 females, mean age 53. Results In Group 1, 19 eviscerations were performed, versus 55 in Group 2. In both groups, half of the indications for surgery were a painful blind eye. In Group 1, endophthalmia (23%) came second, whereas it was trauma (15%) in Group 2. Sixty-eight patients were implanted in Group 1 (silicone spheres 69%) versus 86 in Group 2 (hydroxyapatite spheres 69%). Twenty spheres (20%) were rejected in Group 1 versus 7% in Group 2. Discussion and Conclusions The proportion of eviscerations incr eased in 10 years. The number of endophthalmitis-related operations decreased and trauma-related operations increased. The number of implantations increased with hydroxyapatite as the first choice material instead of silicone. This most likely contributed to reducing the number of rejections.
