title: Controlled enucleation.
abstract: Although enucleation is orbit soft tissue surgery, the techniques of the latter are in general not fully applied in the standard enucleation procedure. Controlled enucleation does employ such techniques: identification and suture-tagging of tissues, meticulous hemostasis, dissection under direct visualization, fixation (without crushing) of the optic nerve, and precise closure of tissues. Controlled enucleation can decrease the incidence of post-enucleation complications.
