    Summary

    Orbital exenteration, a major surgery, is indicated for advanced orbital cancers unresponsive to other treatments. While challenging, total exenteration can be life-saving, with techniques and outcomes discussed.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Orbital exenteration is a radical surgical procedure for advanced orbital malignancies.
    • Indications include primary orbital tumors, direct extension, or uncontrollable adnexal disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enumerate indications for orbital exenteration.
    • To discuss surgical techniques, precautions, and outcomes.
    • To review the role of skin grafting in post-operative care.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of indications for orbital exenteration.
    • Discussion of surgical techniques, including subtotal and total exenteration.
    • Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of skin grafting.

    Main Results:

    • Exenteration is typically reserved for malignant neoplasms of orbital contents, direct extension, or adnexal tissue.
    • Subtotal exenteration may allow partial preservation of lids and conjunctiva.
    • Total exenteration can be a life-saving procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Orbital exenteration is a critical, albeit mutilating, option for advanced orbital cancers.
    • Surgical technique and management of skin grafting are crucial for successful outcomes.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical planning are essential.
