Reconstructive surgeries

Reconstructive surgery is performed in cases of a change in the normal position of the tissue or in cases of tissue damage by tumor, injury, or infection. The goal of the surgery is to improve or restore normal function, and to improve the aesthetic appearance of the tissue as much as possible.

Innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of Ocular Adnexal Lymphoma and Ocular Adnexal Lymphoma Ocular Adnexal Lymphoma (OAL) is the most common orbital malignancy in adults over the age of 60. However, the grade of malignancy is low and the course is mostly benign. It accounts for approximately 1-5% of

The eyelids are much more than just the “gate” to the eye – they protect the eyeball, maintain proper moisture, and play an important role in both vision function and facial aesthetics.When eyelid diseases develop, the impact is not merely local: quality of life, external appearance, and sometimes even vision

Suffering from constant tearing? Problems with tear drainage can interfere with your quality of life, but the good news is that there are solutions! In this video, Prof. Guy Ben Simon explains tear duct reconstruction – how the problem is diagnosed and what treatments exist depending on age and the

Prof. Ben-Simon explains about blocked tear ducts: https://youtu.be/DRBqxvcXUfYThe tear ducts contain delicate tubes in the upper and lower eyelids that connect to the nasolacrimal sac located on the lateral wall of the nose. Tears empty into the nasal cavity through the nasolacrimal duct. Tear ducts anatomy Tear duct intubation, irrigation,

Thyroid Related Orbitopathy / Graves’ Disease Involvement of the orbit in thyroid disease can precede the onset of the disease in the gland, or appear several years after the initial disease. Usually both eyes will be involved, although not symmetrically. There are cases in which there is no connection between

There are a large number of tumors that may appear in the orbit (around the eyeball), with certain types of orbit tumors characteristic of each age. The removal of the orbit tumor (in its entirety or for the purpose of taking a biopsy) is usually done under general anesthesia, through

Fractures in the orbit mainly result from blunt trauma (falls, car accidents, bullet wounds, fights). The most common fracture is called a Blowout fracture and results from a fracture in the lower wall of the orbit (the floor of the orbit, towards the maxillary sinus, inferior orbital wall) as well

(Orbital Surgery) The orbit is the bony tissue that surrounds the eye socket. It consists of seven bones and is part of the bones of the skull. The anatomical structure of the orbit is extremely complex and contains muscles that move the eyeball, connective tissue, fat, blood vessels and nerves,

Reconstructive surgery is a specialized field of ophthalmology that focuses on the treatment and reconstruction of delicate structures in the eyelids, eye socket, and tear ducts. The goal of reconstructive surgery is to allow for significant improvement in function, while maintaining a natural and aesthetic appearance. At the clinic of Prof. Guy Ben Simon, an oculoplastics specialist, we offer a variety of advanced treatments that are personalized to the patient's needs, using innovative technologies and a professional approach.

What are reconstructive surgeries?

Reconstructive surgery is designed to treat a variety of medical conditions that affect the eye and surrounding areas. These include issues such as blocked tear ducts, fractures in the eye socket due to trauma, drooping eyelids (ptosis), or damage from diseases such as thyroid disease. Reconstructive surgery may also be performed in more complex cases, such as reconstruction after tumor removal or fitting a prosthesis in cases of eye dislocation.

The main goal of reconstructive surgery is to improve the patient’s quality of life by treating functional problems, such as difficulty seeing, excessive tearing, or pain, while ensuring a harmonious aesthetic result. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s medical condition, taking into account factors such as age, medical history, and personal expectations.

When is reconstructive surgery required?

Reconstructive surgeries may be required in a variety of situations, such as:

  • Fractures in the eye socket – sometimes as a result of trauma, these fractures may cause deformities or limit eye movement.
  • Blockages in the tear ducts – a common condition that causes excessive tearing or recurrent infections, which can be corrected through delicate reconstructive surgery.
  • Drooping eyelids – a condition in which the upper eyelid droops, which may impair vision and appearance.
  • Diseases that affect the eye socket – such as thyroid disease, which sometimes requires decompression surgery to relieve pressure.
  • Reconstruction after trauma or tumors – in cases where reconstruction of the eye structure or fitting of a prosthesis is necessary.

In each of these cases, reconstructive surgery offers a customized solution, combining advanced surgical techniques with a deep understanding of the unique anatomy of the eye.

The benefits of reconstructive surgery

The main advantage of reconstructive surgery is the ability to treat complex medical problems while maintaining a natural result. At our clinic, the diagnostic and treatment process is carried out in close collaboration with the patient, with a detailed explanation of the various stages and expected results. In addition, reconstructive surgeries performed for medical reasons may be covered by insurance companies, depending on the terms of the policy, making them more accessible for patients in need of treatment.
