    Summary

    This study introduces a modified iridocyclectomy technique using a lamellar scleral flap to cover the tumor site after malignant melanoma removal. This method results in a stronger scar and prevents eye deformities.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Malignant melanoma of the eye presents a significant surgical challenge.
    • Traditional iridocyclectomy may lead to complications like staphyloma formation.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a modified iridocyclectomy technique for ocular malignant melanoma.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a lamellar scleral flap in preventing post-operative complications.

    Summary:

    • A lamellar scleral flap, based at the limbus, is created before tumor excision.
    • The flap is used to "plastically" cover the defect after malignant melanoma removal.
    • This technique was applied to 5 patients undergoing iridocyclectomy.

    Impact:

    • The modified technique results in a firmer scar at the surgical site.
    • It effectively prevents the development of staphyloma, improving patient outcomes.
