  • Title: [Rationale for implant insertion after enucleation of eyes with uveal melanoma].
    Author: Stoiukhina AS.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 2011; 127(1):29-32. PubMed ID: 21539101.
    Abstract:
    Results of retrospective analysis of medical charts of 328 patients after enucleation due to uveal melanoma (UM) are represented. Our study showed that recurrent tumor occurs in 2.44% cases. The main reasons of recurrence are scleral invasion or tumor damage during surgery. After enucleation due to juxtapapillary UM recurrence is rare and occurs after long-term follow-up. Thus after enucleation due to UM implant insertion is possible in case of scleral integrity and absence of macroscopically apparent tumor extension beyond sclera.
