Orbital Procedures
Specialized orbital surgery
The orbit is the bony cavity that protects the eye. When there are tumors, fractures, infections, or diseases such as Graves' disease, the intervention of a specialized oculoplastic surgeon is necessary. Dr. Martínez Solís has specific training in orbital surgery to treat these complex conditions safely, always preserving the patient's vision and appearance.
When might you need this procedure?
- One of your eyes appears more prominent or protruding than the other (proptosis)
- You have pain, pressure, or a feeling of tension behind the eye
- You were diagnosed with thyroid disease with ocular involvement
- You suffered facial trauma that affected the eye area
- A tumor or mass was detected in the orbit
How is the procedure done?
Complete evaluation
Detailed clinical examination supported by imaging studies (CT scan or MRI) to precisely characterize the orbital problem.
Surgical planning
Each orbital case is unique. The surgical plan is designed individually, considering the cause, safest access, and preservation of vital structures.
Surgery
Performed under general or local anesthesia depending on complexity. Approaches may be external or endoscopic, always choosing the least invasive possible.
Recovery and follow-up
Close postoperative follow-up to verify functional and aesthetic recovery, with adjustments according to progress.
Recovery and aftercare
Variable depending on the complexity of the procedure. Simple cases have a recovery of 1–2 weeks. More complex procedures may require 4–6 weeks of full recovery.
