Enucleation is a surgical procedure for the removal of an organ or other internal structure, usually the eye. This procedure is typically performed when there's a risk of injury, persistent pain, or a disease such as cancer. The outer muscles and surrounding tissue are normally left intact. It's often an option when other treatments have not succeeded or are not possible.
