Orbital Surgery involves repair and reconstruction of the tissues and bones in and around the eye sockets. Orbital disease includes tumors, trauma, infections, inflammations and deformities. Orbital surgeons interact with specialists in Neurosurgery, ENT, Oral Surgery, Endocrinology, Neurology, Oncology, Internal Medicine and Radiology.
Common Orbital procedures include repair of orbital blow-out and tripod fractures, abscess drainage, decompression for Graves' Disease, Tumor Resection, optic nerve sheath fenestration and deformity repair.
Oculoplastic surgery involves repair and reconstruction of the Eyelids and the Tear Drainage System.
Common oculoplastic surgical procedures include Entropion and Ectropion repair, Canthplasty, Ptosis and Dermatochalasis repair, Tumor resection and reconstruction. Adults with tearing problems may require dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) while children require tear duct probing and stenting. |
