Ciliary body tumor resection is a surgical procedure used to remove tumors from the ciliary body, the part of the eye that produces aqueous humor and helps control the shape of the lens. Tumors in this area can cause pain, affect vision, or lead to complications like retinal detachment or increased intraocular pressure.
The procedure involves carefully excising the tumor while preserving surrounding eye structures to prevent complications. Tumor resection is typically performed in combination with other treatments, such as radiation or chemotherapy, to ensure complete removal.
Ciliary body tumor resection helps preserve eye health, reduce pain, and prevent further damage or vision loss caused by the tumor.
