Abstract

In the paper the problems of eyeball removal (cosmetic, post-enucleation socket syndrome, post-operative prostheses mobility and conjunctival atrophy) are described and advantages and disadvantages of different surgical methods of eyeball removal (enucleation, evisceration) are discussed. The choice of surgical method depending on indication for eyeball removal is also discussed.
