{"product_id":"evisceration-and-sympathetic-ophthalmia-von-nagib-du-toit","title":"Evisceration and Sympathetic Ophthalmia","description":"\u003cp\u003eSympathetic Ophthalmia (SO) is a rare, but  devastating eye condition that occurs bilaterally ¿  usually 4-8 weeks after a traumatic event. It is  perceived that the risk of SO is eliminated if the  injured eye is removed as a primary procedure; and  decreased if secondary removal is performed. It is  also thought to be safer to remove the eye by  enucleation (removal of the entire globe) rather  than by evisceration (removal of the globe contents  only). Evisceration does, however, have definite  advantages over enucleation, including being a  technically simpler surgical procedure. Evisceration  may become the preferred and accepted procedure for  removal of the globe following trauma if it can be  conclusively shown that the risk of SO after  evisceration is negligible and less than the 0.19%  (range 0.1 ¿ 0.3%) quoted in the literature. Many  cases of penetrating ocular trauma are seen at  Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) every year ¿ more than  at other centres in the world. By analyzing our data  over a 10-year period, we hoped to demonstrate that  the risk of SO is minimal or non-existent following  evisceration for ocular trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838308432\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs there a risk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838308432","offer_id":39497117597789,"sku":"9783838308432","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b1efbf7f-5219-4dc2-b1e6-bcc9971eb822.jpg?v=1769841139","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/evisceration-and-sympathetic-ophthalmia-von-nagib-du-toit","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
