‘Surgeons remove brain tumour through eyelid in Irish medical first’ In July 2025, the patient underwent the procedure, known as a transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery at Beaumont Hospital under the care of Prof Mohsen Javadpour, consultant neurosurgeon, and Mr Tim Fulcher, consultant ophthalmologist and a former president of the ICO. “In this lady’s surgery, you do a 2cm incision in the crease of the eye socket. You remove a little bit of the orbital bone and you’re in the eye socket. The eye socket then is being used as a corridor to access the brain; that reduces the trauma to the brain itself and there is less chance of complications relating to surgery. When it heals it’s almost invisible.” #ophthalmology #neurology #neurosurgery #neuroophthalmology #eyesurgeon #ocularoncology #braintumour Mater Misericordiae University Hospital Beaumont Hospital Beaumont RCSI Cancer Centre Health Service Executive Irish Cancer Society EyesOnTomorrow Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) UCD School Of Medicine School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin UCC Medicine and Health https://lnkd.in/erV3Je4b
