Choroidal Melanoma Surgery

Choroidal melanoma surgery is a treatment for a type of eye cancer that occurs in the choroid, a layer of blood vessels beneath the retina. This surgery aims to remove the tumor while preserving as much vision as possible. Depending on the tumor's size and location, methods may include removing part or all of the affected eye (enucleation) or using laser therapy and other techniques to destroy the cancerous cells. Post-surgery, patients may need follow-up treatment and monitoring to ensure the cancer does not return.
