Summary

Surgical resection offers an alternative to irradiation for uveal melanomas, providing tumor details and avoiding toxic syndrome. However, these eye-salvaging procedures carry significant surgical risks.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Uveal melanoma is a primary intraocular malignancy.
  • Irradiation techniques are common but have limitations.
  • Surgical resection presents an alternative eye-salvaging approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare surgical resection techniques for uveal melanoma.
  • To evaluate the applicability and outcomes of exoresection and endoresection.
  • To highlight the benefits and challenges of surgical tumor removal.

Main Methods:

  • Transscleral resection (exoresection) via partial lamellar sclerouvectomy.
  • Endoresection via pars plana vitrectomy.
  • Evaluation of applicability based on tumor location and size (>8 mm thickness).

Main Results:

  • Exoresection is suited for anterior tumors (ciliary body/iris involvement).
  • Endoresection is suited for posterior tumors (without ciliary body involvement).
  • Both methods are options for large tumors, offering histopathologic data and avoiding toxic tumor syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical resection is a viable, albeit challenging, alternative for large uveal melanomas.
  • Tumor resection provides diagnostic information and avoids irradiation side effects.
  • Postoperative complications are a significant consideration for both surgical techniques.
