The data supported that globe-sparing approaches can achieve acceptable oncologic outcomes while preserving the eye, though close follow-up is essential.
Take-Home Messages
- •Globe-sparing surgery for periocular malignancies can achieve good oncologic outcomes while preserving vision and ocular function.
- •Long-term surveillance is critical after globe-sparing surgery for ocular adnexal tumors due to the risk of local recurrence.
