A novel technique of endoillumination-Assisted Localization Combined with Partial Transscleral Sclerouvectomy Ciliary Body Leiomyoma and its outcomes

Abstract

Purpose To describe a novel surgical technique of intraoperative endoillumination-assisted localization combined with partial transscleral sclerouvectomy of ciliary body leiomyoma. Methods Three consecutive patients of ciliary body leiomyoma with strong willingness to save eyeballs. Data collection included presentation details such as photographs, clinical findings, pathological diagnosis, treatment details and audit of surgical videos. Results After intraoperative endoillumination-assisted localization combined with partial transscleral sclerouvectomy of ciliary body leiomyoma, favourable anatomical and visual outcome was observed in all cases. The tumor was completely removed. No recurrence of leiomyoma was noted and no significant complications were found during follow-up. Conclusion The use of intraoperative endoillumination-assisted localization combined with partial transscleral sclerouvectomy of ciliary body leiomyoma is a novel approach with potential advantages including accurate localization, preservation of the normal tissue structure of the eyes, and low incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
