Summary

Surgical resection of choroidal tumors, including endoresection and transscleral resection, offers diagnostic data and avoids radiotherapy risks. However, these challenging procedures carry significant complication risks.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Surgical resection is standard for accessible iris and ciliary body tumors.
  • Choroidal tumor removal is complex, requiring specialized centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare endoresection (ab interno) and transscleral resection (ab externo) for choroidal tumors.
  • To evaluate visual outcomes, survival rates, and complications of these surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of surgical resection techniques for choroidal tumors.
  • Comparison of endoresection and transscleral resection based on published data.

Main Results:

  • Both endoresection and transscleral resection are suitable for large choroidal tumors (>8 mm thickness, small base).
  • Surgical resection provides histopathologic and cytogenetic data, avoiding radiotherapy risks.
  • Both methods are technically demanding and associated with significant early and late postoperative complications.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical resection is a viable, albeit challenging, option for choroidal tumors.
  • Careful patient selection and experienced surgical teams are crucial for successful outcomes and complication management.
