Epibulbar tumor excision is a procedure performed to remove tumors located on the surface of the eye, specifically the epibulbar region, which includes the conjunctiva and the outer part of the sclera. These tumors may include benign growths, like conjunctival melanoma, or other conditions that affect the ocular surface.

The procedure involves carefully excising the tumor while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues. Depending on the tumor's location and size, the excision may be followed by reconstructive surgery to ensure the proper appearance and function of the eye.

Epibulbar tumor excision is crucial for removing malignant or potentially harmful tumors, preventing further damage to the eye, and preserving vision. It is typically performed under local anesthesia, and patients can expect a quick recovery, though follow-up care is necessary to monitor for recurrence.
