Narrative:
Following a normal takeoff and in conjunction with gear retraction; we heard a loud bang; and observed the airplane to yaw sharply to the right. Within 200 feet; it became evident that our rh (right hand) engine was surging with itt at maximum. We reduced the rh throttle to idle and observed stable indications. The tower was advised of our emergency status; and we made a single engine rh traffic pattern to a landing. Airport fire and emergency services approached the airplane after we came to a complete stop on the runway. Smoke was observed from the rh engine; so we elected to evacuate our 4 passengers plus 2 crew. Subsequent inspection seems to point to catastrophic failure of our rh engine; which was recently overhauled.
