Mucormycosis is a painful disease in which the organs that give beauty to the face like jaw, palate, eyes affected by black or other types of fungus have to be removed to save the life of the patient. That is why the patient suffers from facial ugliness even after recovery and this pain has to be endured for life.

Simply put, this is a surgery that preserves the beauty of the face, mostly by keeping the eyeballs and good muscles of the conjunctiva affected by the fungus intact.

The brightness of the eye is lost due to the effect of the fungus which cannot be restored but it is also a matter of great satisfaction to remove the ugliness of the face with this surgery.

This surgery involves the use of endoscopy and a microscopic debridement to preserve the eyeballs, remove the fungus-damaged parts of the back of the eye, and preserve the good muscles. Not an eye surgeon but an ENT surgeon cleans the damaged part of the eye through the nose with the help of these devices.
