Uveal tumor surgery is a complex procedure that requires an experienced and qualified surgical team. The approach is tailored to each patient based on the specific characteristics of the tumor and their individual needs.
The primary goal of uveal tumor surgery is to completely remove the tumor to prevent its progression and avoid potential ocular and systemic complications. Surgery may be necessary in cases where the tumor is aggressive or poses a significant risk to the patient’s health.
The surgical technique employed will depend on several factors, including the location, size, and type of tumor. In some cases, localized resection of the tumor may be performed, while in more complex cases, a more extensive excision may be required, involving partial or total removal of the affected uveal structure.
Post-surgery, a treatment plan may include the use of eye drops or medications to prevent inflammation and promote proper healing. Postoperative follow-up is essential to monitor the patient’s progress and detect any potential recurrences or complications.
