Orbital tumor resection is a specialized surgical procedure performed to remove abnormal growths within the eye socket (orbit) while preserving vision and surrounding structures. These tumors may be benign or malignant and can affect the eye, optic nerve, and nearby tissues, often leading to symptoms such as vision changes, eye bulging, or discomfort. Early evaluation and precise imaging are essential to determine the nature and location of the tumor, allowing for a tailored surgical approach that prioritizes both safety and functional outcomes.
