Multidisciplinary teams managed extensive orbital tumors with orbital exenteration over 10 years. Local surgical radicality is encouraged, as patients survived the primary lesion but faced other complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Review of a decade of multidisciplinary management for extensive orbital tumors requiring orbital exenteration.
  • Experience gathered at the Humanitas Research Institute, Milan, Italy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing extensive orbital tumors treated with orbital exenteration.
  • To assess the effectiveness of surgical radicality in these complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing orbital exenteration from March 2005 to August 2014.
  • Identification of 26 patients through operating room notes and ICD-10 codes.
  • Division of patients into two cohorts: craniofacial/sinus cancers and advanced periorbital skin cancers.

Main Results:

  • The cohort comprised 26 patients (73.1% male), with a median age of 65.5 years.
  • Major skin cancers extending to the orbit were present in 69.2% of patients.
  • The two cohorts were comparable in terms of demographics, surgical extent, adjuvant therapy, and rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Patients in this series did not succumb to the primary orbital tumor.
  • Complications arising from other issues were the cause of mortality.
  • Emphasis is placed on advocating for local surgical radicality in the management of extensive orbital tumors.
