Frequently Asked Questions
Can eye tumors be treated without removing the eye?
Many eye tumors can be treated with globe-preserving approaches including radiation, laser, or limited surgery. Dr. Jia exhausts all vision-saving options before recommending enucleation.
What is recovery like after orbital tumor surgery?
Hospital stay is typically 2-5 days. Swelling and bruising peak at 2-3 days and resolve over 2-3 weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.
How does robotic surgery differ from traditional orbital surgery?
Robotic surgery provides enhanced visualization, precision, and access through smaller incisions. For appropriate cases, it offers superior outcomes with faster recovery.
Will I need a prosthetic eye if my eye is removed?
Yes, after enucleation, a custom prosthetic eye (ocular prosthesis) is fitted 6-8 weeks post-surgery. Modern prostheses are remarkably realistic and mobile.
How long should I stay in Shanghai for orbital surgery?
Simple procedures: 1-2 weeks; Complex tumor resection: 2-3 weeks; Orbital fracture repair: 1-2 weeks. Specific recommendations provided based on your procedure.
What are the risks of orbital surgery?
Risks include bleeding, infection, double vision, vision loss (rare), and scarring. Dr. Jia's expertise and advanced techniques minimize these risks.
