Enucleation as a general surgical technique

Enucleation doesn't just apply to opthamalic surgery. It's a general surgical procedure. You also find enucleation used to talk about cleaning out certain kinds of oral cysts. If enucleation has a standard usage here for eye surgery, we should add a disambig page to disambig if from the general surgical technique. --InsufficientData (talk) 14:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Enucleation of the eye is strictly ophthalmic-specific. Other surgical enucleation can disambiguate.184.47.232.5 (talk) 08:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons for eye removal?

This section would be much better if it could relate to the classification and list indications for Enucleation, indications for Evisceration and indications for Exenteration. It is too general and does not reflect an understanding of such a common question. --ChessMaster2011 (talk) 12:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
