Methods of External Eye and Orbital Surgery at Top Ichilov

Eyelid and orbital surgery (in Israel, according to patient reviews, this field has reached the highest level of development) is called oculoplastics. Israeli operating ophthalmologists have mastered the most advanced techniques for correcting congenital and acquired defects of these structures without traumatizing surrounding tissues.

Oculoplastics consists of sections such as eyelid surgeries, surgical treatment of orbital pathologies, and surgical interventions on the lacrimal apparatus. It is worth noting that all interventions are performed using microsurgical techniques, with the use of robotic and laser technology.

Eyelid and Orbital Surgery in Israel

  • Eyelid surgeries. This includes blepharoplasty – plastic correction of the eyelids, which involves the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue and aims to restore the normal shape of the eyes. It is primarily sought by older women who exhibit signs of aging. In addition to the cosmetic effect, blepharoplasty improves peripheral vision and reduces eye fatigue. The advantages of blepharoplasty at Top Ichilov include its performance with a laser through an incision on the inside of the eyelid, which helps avoid cosmetic defects after surgery, as well as blood loss, as the laser beam simultaneously cauterizes the vessels. Another procedure is the correction of eyelid ptosis, which may result from a pathology of the neuromuscular apparatus of the eye. Another group of surgeries includes restoring the normal position of the eyelids – correction of eyelids in cases of ectropion and entropion. This also includes plastic surgeries to widen or narrow the palpebral fissure, as well as reconstructive surgeries of the eyelids after extensive removal of an orbital tumour along with the eyeball and eyelids – in such surgeries, cartilage tissue from the auricle or skin flaps from the patient are used as implants.
  • Orbital surgery. Orbital surgeries mainly involve reconstruction after the removal of tumours of the soft and bony tissues of the eye, in cases of orbital trauma (fractures), excision of blind eyes, and malignant tumours of the eyeball prior to eye prosthesis. In cases of orbital fractures, the walls of the orbit are secured using special metal constructs (plates).
  • Lacrimal apparatus surgeries. Obstruction (impassability) of the lacrimal duct can be either a congenital or acquired pathology and involves a disruption in the drainage of tear fluid from the lacrimal gland to the lacrimal duct and nasal cavity. This disruption leads to constant tearing from the eyes. The only method to resolve this issue is a microsurgical operation performed endoscopically through the nasal passages. Depending on the nature and location of the damage (lacrimal gland or lacrimal duct), different types of surgical interventions are applied – removal of the lacrimal gland, part of the lacrimal sac, incision of the lacrimal sac, excision of the narrowed section of the lacrimal duct, and creating a sort of anastomosis between the lacrimal sac and nasal cavity. All surgeries on the lacrimal apparatus at Top Ichilov are performed only by endoscopic method using modern laser equipment and only through the nasal passages. According to reviews, eyelid and orbital surgery in Israel, as well as lacrimal apparatus surgery, does not leave cosmetic defects.

Accurate Diagnosis – A Mandatory Stage of Surgical Treatment

Any surgical operation requires careful planning, which is impossible without a complete examination of the body. At Top Ichilov, such a comprehensive examination is conducted in just 3 days, with clarifying diagnostic procedures implemented within 1 day.

At the preliminary consultation stage, you discuss with the manager the day and time of your arrival in the country, and on that same day, you meet with your treating physician. The ophthalmic surgeon you choose assigns the necessary clarifying diagnostic procedures based on the available medical documents. You undergo all examinations on the second day, and on the third day, a medical board makes a decision regarding your treatment program.

Here is a list of mandatory diagnostic procedures included in the diagnostic program before eye surgery:

  • laboratory tests;
  • CT, MRI;
  • endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity;
  • contrast radiography;
  • overview radiographic examination of the orbit.

The diagnostic program is tailored individually depending on the type of pathology, so the cost of eyelid and orbital surgery in Israel is calculated personally in each individual case and includes prices for examination and the surgery itself.
