Enucleation with implant insertion in Italian Eye Hospital

Enucleation with implant insertion at the Italian Eye Hospital in Prishtina, Kosovo, typically runs around $2,300. This procedure uses a hydroxyapatite orbital implant to help restore the volume of the eye socket after the eye is removed. The clinic is a major ophthalmology center in the region, treating over 15,000 patients every year.

Hydroxyapatite Implant Benefits

The surgery involves the removal of the eyeball while keeping the eye muscles and other orbital tissues. A hydroxyapatite orbital implant is placed into the socket during the same session. This specific material is known for its high level of biocompatibility. It has a porous structure that allows the patient's own blood vessels and tissues to grow into the implant.

• Better Integration: The porous material helps the implant become a natural part of the socket.
• Improved Movement: Because it integrates with the tissues, the implant moves more naturally.
• Stable Foundation: It provides a firm base for a custom prosthetic eye to be fitted later.

Their team handles thousands of cases annually, providing experience in both functional and cosmetic eye surgeries.

Cost and Process

The procedure for enucleation with a hydroxyapatite implant is around $2,300. This price covers the surgical intervention and the specialized implant material. Choosing a hydroxyapatite implant helps reduce the risk of the implant shifting or being rejected by the body. After the socket heals, the patient can work with an ocularist to receive a cosmetic shell that matches their healthy eye.
