Orbital tumor surgery in Marrakech

Ophthalmologist

The orbit is an anatomical region around the eyeball, delimited by a bony framework in which many bones participate. It includes 7 muscles, the lacrimal gland, the eyeball and its optic nerve. All of these tissues are surrounded by orbital fat, itself traversed by vessels and nerves. It should be understood that orbital surgery is difficult because the surgeon must extract a mass from a narrow solid frame (30 cm3) with a noble and fragile structure at its center, it is the eyeball (7 cm3). Irreversible injury to the optic nerve and its vasculonervous pedicle must be avoided. All the difficulty will therefore depend on the location of the tumor.
