Orbital tumor excision is a surgical procedure performed to remove tumors from the orbit (eye socket), which can affect the eye, optic nerve, or surrounding tissues. The procedure is often indicated for conditions like orbital cellulitis, benign tumors, or malignant growths such as orbital lymphomas or metastases.

During the procedure, the surgeon carefully excises the tumor while preserving nearby eye structures, such as the optic nerve and muscles. In some cases, reconstructive surgery may be needed after the excision.

Orbital tumor excision is essential for treating malignancies and preventing further complications, such as vision loss or nerve damage.
