What is Orbital Surgery?

Orbital surgery is a specialized procedure focused on the eye socket—or orbit—which houses the eye and its associated structures. It is performed to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from traumatic injuries, tumors, infections, to thyroid eye disease. It aims to restore a more normal function and appearance of the eye and orbit, although complete resolution of the abnormalities might not be possible.

The Procedure

Orbital surgery is typically an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. It begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s overall health and specific condition. The surgical approach depends on many factors including the location and extent of the problem in the orbit. After surgery, patients are closely monitored to ensure a smooth recovery. Post-operative care includes prescribed medications and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and recovery.

Benefits

The benefits of orbital surgery are vast. It can alleviate pain, improve vision, correct deformities, and even protect against potential life-threatening conditions.

Alternatives

Sometimes, depending on the patient’s condition, non-surgical treatments such as medications, radiotherapy, or watchful waiting might be considered. It’s essential to discuss with your doctor about all possible alternatives and make an informed decision about what’s best for your health and lifestyle.

We urge patients to discuss any concerns with their surgeon, to ensure peace of mind prior to proceeding with surgery.
