Controlled enucleation.
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.
