Orbital exenteration, the removal of orbital contents, can manage severe benign orbital diseases causing pain or disfigurement when other treatments fail. This procedure offers an alternative to prolonged, ineffective medical therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Orbital exenteration is typically for malignancy.
  • Benign orbital diseases can also necessitate this extensive surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline indications for orbital exenteration in benign orbital diseases.
  • To present cases illustrating the procedure's utility.

Main Methods:

  • Review of indications for orbital exenteration in benign conditions.
  • Case series of sixteen patients undergoing exenteration for benign orbital disease.

Main Results:

  • Exenteration is indicated for irretrievable visual loss with pain/disfigurement from diffuse disease.
  • It's also used for disfiguring abnormalities (teratomas, varices, tumors) and benign tumors with malignant potential.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Sixteen cases of full or partial exenteration for benign disease were described.

    • Conclusions:

    • Orbital exenteration is a valuable option for select benign orbital diseases.
    • It can resolve intractable pain, disfigurement, or manage tumors with malignant potential.
    • The procedure offers an alternative to severe side effects of inadequate medical treatments.
