After losing a significant amount of weight, I had excess skin around my abdomen that no amount of exercise could fix. Dr. Juan Luis Muñoz performed my abdominoplasty, and the results were amazing. My stomach is now flat and firm, and the scars are minimal and well-hidden. I highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

My daughter was twelve months old when we noticed unusual symptoms and body movements in her. We had no family history of autism, but I had sufficient knowledge about this condition. We took her to a doctor at Teknon Medical Center and discussed her symptoms. The doctor started ABA therapy for her, and it worked well. Now she is three years old, and 70% of her symptoms have been reduced. Thanks to her amazing doctor.

I got my tumor removed at Quironsalud Teknon Medical Center. Although it was a benign tumor, I was extremely worried, but the doctors at Teknon Medical Center made everything easy. I had to undergo two sessions of radiation therapy, but I am glad to announce that the tumor is gone. I am extremely grateful to ClinicsonCall for connecting me to Teknon Medical Center.

I recently had a PET MRI Scan at Teknon Medical Center, and I must say that the experience was surprisingly comfortable. From the moment I walked in, the staff made sure I felt at ease, taking the time to explain the procedure and address any concerns. The technicians were incredibly patient and understanding, making sure I was comfortable before starting the scan. The facility itself was clean and well-maintained, contributing to an overall positive experience. I appreciate the care I received at Teknon Medical Center during my scan.

I recently underwent treatment for a spinal cyst, and I must say that the care I received at Quironsalud Hospital Madrid was exceptional. My symptoms were quite debilitating and had been affecting my quality of life for some time, but the doctors and staff at the hospital were incredibly compassionate and attentive to my needs. The diagnostic process was thorough and efficient, and my doctor explained everything to me so that I knew exactly what was happening. The treatment plan was tailored to my situation, and the surgical procedure went smoothly without complications. After the surgery, I received excellent follow-up care, with regular check-ins to monitor my progress and ensure I was recovering well. I am feeling much better now and can enjoy my daily activities without pain or discomfort. I am satisfied with the care I received and would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of similar treatment.

I recently experienced an Intracranial Hematoma, which was a scary and challenging situation to deal with. It started with a sudden and severe headache, followed by nausea and vomiting, and then I started feeling confused and disoriented. I was rushed to the Quironsalud Hospital Madrid, where I underwent a CT scan that showed bleeding in my brain. The doctors quickly diagnosed me with an Intracranial Hematoma and took me into surgery to remove the clot. The procedure was successful, and I am grateful to the skilled medical team that saved my life. The recovery process was not easy, as I had to spend some time in the ICU and then in a rehabilitation center to regain my strength and mobility. I also had to take medication to prevent seizures and manage my pain. Now, several months after the incident, I am still dealing with some residual symptoms, such as headaches and memory problems. However, I am slowly but surely regaining my independence and returning to my normal activities.

I recently underwent MRI-Guided Stereotactic Laser Ablation for a brain tumor at Quironsalud Madrid, and I have to say that the procedure was nothing short of amazing. The team of doctors who performed the procedure were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and they explained everything to me in detail so that I knew what to expect. They also ensured that I was comfortable throughout the process and that all my questions were answered. The procedure was quick and painless, and I could go home the same day. I had some mild discomfort and headache for a few days afterwards, but it was nothing that could not be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention that I received.

I had a medical emergency while vacationing in Mexico. This was the second time I had an episode like this. The first time was in the United States after 14 days I was not able to get a diagnosis. I was admitted to Valencia Hospital in March. Dr. Lozano was my physician, from the minute, I met him. I knew that I was going to receive great care. I was able to leave the hospital four days later with a diagnosis something that wasn’t done for me in the states. His diagnostic abilities are excellent. I received great care, Dr. Lozano and Valencia Hospital.

I was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) after my premature birth. Initially, my parents were very worried about my health and future development, but with the help of my doctors and therapists at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia, I have been able to make progress and reach important milestones. Living with PVL has its challenges, including motor difficulties, speech delays, and learning disabilities. However, I have received great support from my family, caregivers, and medical team, who have worked tirelessly to provide me with the best possible care and interventions. Although PVL is a lifelong condition, I am determined to keep pushing myself and achieving my goals. I am grateful for the love and care I have received, and I am optimistic about my future. My team at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia is very supportive.

I was diagnosed with an AVM a few months ago, and it was quite scary to learn about this condition. However, I am very grateful to have been able to receive proper treatment and care from my doctors at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia. Initially, I did not know much about AVMs and was concerned about what the diagnosis would mean for my health. My doctors did a great job explaining the condition to me and the treatment options available. They recommended that I undergo embolization followed by surgery to remove the AVM. The procedure itself was not too difficult, and I was able to return home the next day. The recovery process was a bit more challenging, but my medical team gave me great support and care. They made sure that I was comfortable and provided me with all the necessary information. Now that I have fully recovered, I feel grateful for the care I received and the successful treatment. I feel much better and am able to resume my daily activities without any problems.

As a patient diagnosed with an aneurysm of the cerebral artery, I wanted to share my experience to help others who may be going through the same thing. Firstly, the diagnosis itself was a shock. I had been experiencing some mild headaches, but I never expected to be told that I had a bulge in the blood vessel in my brain. The medical team at Quironsalud Valencia was very reassuring, and they explained the condition to me in detail, which helped me understand what was happening. The treatment process was also smooth. I was offered two options: surgery or endovascular coiling. After careful consideration, I chose endovascular coiling. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, and I could go home the next day. I experienced some headaches and fatigue for a few days, but overall, it was smooth. I had to take some time off work to rest, but after a week or so, I could resume my normal activities.

I recently underwent a discectomy to reconstruct my intervertebral cartilage, and I could not be happier with the results. Prior to the surgery, I was experiencing chronic back pain and limited mobility. My doctor at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia recommended this procedure to address the root cause of my discomfort. The surgery itself was relatively straightforward, and my recovery time was minimal. Within a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement. I no longer experience the constant pain I had grown accustomed to, and I can move around more freely. The reconstruction surgery has truly been life-changing for me. I can now enjoy activities I had previously given up on due to my back pain. I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is experiencing similar issues.

My knees were killing me, and my family doctor suggested a total knee replacement. I was referred to Quironsalud Torrevieja Hospital. The hospital's services were brilliant. They spoke wonderful English and went over everything. The surgery was excellent, and I was able to recover without any problems. I also had physical therapy after the procedure. It was painful, but it made a significant impact! I am now free of pain. Thanks to Quironsalud Hospital.

Benefits of Choosing Spanish Hospitals for Melanoma of the Eye Treatment

Additionally, Spanish hospitals have English-speaking staff, which can make the process of seeking treatment easier for patients who do not speak Spanish.
  • The best Clinics for Melanoma of Eye Treatment in Spain are
    • After an extensive evaluation, ISO and JCI have accredited Quironsalud Hospital Madrid for quality standards. The golden quality seal endorses that all practices followed at the hospital are according to international safety objectives set by WHO.
    • Teknon Medical Center has been awarded the gold seal of quality "JCI" and the "EFQM" accreditations for outstanding quality management. The specialists working at the clinic are ranked among the top surgeons in the world according to Forbes Magazine ranking.
  • The best Melanoma of Eye Specialists in Spain are

Examinations for Melanoma of the Eye in Spain

For the diagnosis of ocular melanoma, Spanish doctors perform different tests, such as

  • Eye exam: The eye doctor examines the eye using a specialized microscope called a slit-lamp, which allows them to look at the structures in the eye.
  • Ultrasound: High-frequency sound waves are used to create an image of the eye and the surrounding tissues. This can help to identify any tumors that are not visible during a regular eye exam.
  • Fluorescein angiography: A special dye is injected into a vein in the arm, which travels to the eye and makes the blood vessels more visible. This can help to identify any abnormal blood vessels that may be associated with a tumor.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT): This non-invasive imaging test uses light waves to create detailed images of the structures inside the eye. It can help identify any changes in the retina's thickness or shape, which may indicate a tumor.
  • Biopsy: In some cases, a small sample of tissue may need to be removed from the eye for further testing. This is usually done under local anesthesia, and the sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Treatment for Melanoma of the Eye in Spain

It is important to note that the best treatment approach can vary depending on a number of factors. You should work closely with your surgical team to develop an individualized treatment plan that takes into account your specific needs. Some of the common treatments include

Radiation Therapy

  • It is a common treatment option for ocular melanoma. There are different types of radiotherapy that can be used to treat ocular melanoma, including:
    • Plaque radiotherapy: This involves placing a small radioactive plaque on the surface of the eye near the tumor. The plaque is left in place for several days, delivering a high dose of radiation directly to the eye tumor.
    • Proton beam therapy: A type of external beam radiotherapy that uses a beam of protons to deliver radiation to eye tumors. The proton beam is precisely targeted to the tumor, sparing nearby healthy tissue.
    • Stereotactic radiosurgery: This type involves delivering a high radiation dose to the eye tumor in a single session using a linear accelerator. The radiation beams are carefully aimed at the tumor from multiple angles, ensuring the eye tumor receives a high radiation dose.
  • Your radiation oncologist will determine the best type of radiotherapy for your specific case based on the size and location of the tumor.
  • The treatment may require several sessions over a period of several weeks, and you may experience some side effects such as fatigue, skin irritation, and eye dryness.

Laser Therapy

  • It can be used as a treatment option for certain types of eye melanoma. The type of laser therapy used for melanoma of the eye is called transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT).
  • TTT involves using a laser to deliver heat to the tumor. This heat destroys the cancer cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue.
  • The laser is directed through the pupil of the eye, so no incisions or injections are necessary. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can be done on an outpatient basis.
  • During the procedure, you will sit in a special chair, and a contact lens will be placed on the eye to help focus the laser. The laser is then directed at the tumor, delivering the heat in short pulses.
  • The length of the procedure and the number of pulses will depend on the size and location of the tumor.

Surgeries for Melanoma of the Eye in Spain

Spanish hospitals offer minimally invasive procedures to treat eye melanomas. These include

Iridectomy

  • It is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the iris is removed. It is typically performed to treat certain types of glaucoma, but it may also be used in cases of melanoma of the eye.
  • You will be given local anesthesia to numb the eye and surrounding area. The surgeon will make a small incision in the cornea and create a small hole in the iris using a laser or surgical instrument.
  • After that, the doctor will remove a portion of the iris that contains the melanoma using scissors or a blade. The incision in the cornea is closed using stitches, and the eye is covered with a protective patch or shield.
  • You will need to rest for a few days and use eye drops or other medications to manage pain and prevent infection.

Iridocyclectomy

  • It involves the removal of a part of the iris and ciliary body to treat certain types of eye tumors, including melanoma of the eye. A small incision is made in the eye to allow the surgeon to access the affected area.
  • The surgeon carefully removes the affected part of the iris and ciliary body, taking care not to damage the surrounding tissue.
  • After the tumor removal, the surgeon may need to reconstruct the iris and ciliary body. The incision is then closed with stitches or a special glue to help the eye heal.
  • The surgery takes two hours, and the length of hospital stay can vary from two to three days.

Transscleral resection

  • The procedure involves removing the affected part of the eye through the sclera, the white outer layer of the eye. The surgeon creates an incision in the conjunctiva to expose the affected part of the eye.
  • Using a surgical instrument, the surgeon dissects the affected tissue from the sclera and separates it from the surrounding healthy tissue. The size of the tissue removed depends on the size and location of the melanoma.
  • After removing the affected tissue, the surgeon repairs the scleral defect by closing the incision with sutures. If necessary, an artificial intraocular lens may be implanted. It takes three to four hours.

Enucleation

  • It is a surgical procedure where the entire eyeball is removed and is a treatment option for some cases of ocular melanoma. Enucleation may be necessary when the melanoma is large, has spread to other parts of the eye, or poses a risk of spreading to other parts of the body.
  • The surgeon makes an incision around the eye and removes the eyelids to expose the eye and dissect the muscles that control the eye's movement.
  • After that, the doctor removes the eye by cutting through the optic nerve. He then closes the eye socket with sutures, and the eyelids are repositioned and sutured together.
  • Once it is done, a temporary prosthetic eye is usually placed in the socket, which will be replaced with a permanent one once the socket has healed.

Recovery after Melanoma of the Eye in Spain

  • After treatment, you will be closely monitored by your surgical team to ensure that cancer has not returned.
  • If you have had surgery, you may experience some discomfort or pain in the affected eye for a few days or weeks and temporary vision changes, such as blurry or double vision. In such cases, you need to wear an eye patch or protective shield.
  • If you have received radiation therapy, you may experience fatigue, skin irritation, and changes in vision. These side effects usually go away after a few weeks or months, or you can take medications.
  • You must take care of your overall health by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
  • With proper care and monitoring, many people with melanoma of the eye are able to make a full recovery and lead healthy, active lives. The recovery takes two to three months.

FAQs

Is melanoma of the eye life-threatening?

In some cases, ocular melanoma may not cause symptoms, and the tumor may be discovered during a routine eye exam. However, as the tumor grows, it may cause vision changes, such as blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision, or flashing lights. The biggest concern with ocular melanoma is that it can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, such as the liver, lungs, or bones. This can be life-threatening, as metastatic cancer can be difficult to treat.

Is eye melanoma common?

It is the most common and rare eye cancer that affects the eye, with an incidence of 5 per million adults. Although rare, it is the primary cancer of the eye in adults (aao.org)

What is the new treatment for ocular melanoma?

In 2022, the FDA approved the immunotherapy tebentafusp-tebn for HLA-A*02:01-positive metastatic or uveal melanoma that cannot be treated with surgery (cancer.net). It works by targeting a type of protein found in melanoma called gp100. The treatment approach is under practice in some countries.
