Orbital Tumor Surgery is a specialized procedure to remove tumors located within the eye socket (orbit). This surgery aims to preserve vision and restore orbital function while addressing benign or malignant growths. Advanced imaging and microsurgical techniques ensure precision and optimal outcomes.
Orbital tumor removal surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with benign or malignant tumors affecting the eye socket. Ideal candidates for this procedure:
Have undergone thorough diagnostic evaluation confirming the presence of an orbital tumor
Are in good overall health and do not have underlying medical conditions that could increase surgical risks
Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
During your consultation with Dr. Schwarcz, he will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your condition to determine if orbital tumor removal surgery is the appropriate treatment option for your specific needs and goals.
While orbital tumor removal surgery offers significant benefits for many patients, certain factors may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Have significant underlying health conditions that could increase surgical risks
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
Dr. Schwarcz will carefully review your medical history and individual circumstances to determine if orbital tumor removal surgery is the right choice for you.
Orbital tumor removal surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in a hospital operating room to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. The specific techniques used will depend on the location, size, and nature of the tumor, as well as your unique anatomy. However, the general steps of the procedure may include:
Incision: Dr. Schwarcz will make precise incisions to access the tumor within the eye socket while minimizing visible scarring.
Tumor Excision: Using advanced surgical instruments, Dr. Schwarcz will carefully remove the tumor from the surrounding tissues, taking care to preserve nerve function and maintain optimal cosmetic results.
Closure: Once the tumor has been successfully removed, Dr. Schwarcz will meticulously close the incisions with sutures for optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Following orbital tumor removal surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the eye area. Dr. Schwarcz will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help manage any discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.
Most patients are able to return home the same day as their surgery, although you may experience some temporary vision changes and eye irritation during the initial healing period. It is important to attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. Schwarcz to ensure that your recovery is progressing as expected.
