Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Orbital volume pathologies, including post-enucleation/evisceration socket syndrome and Graves' orbitopathy, present significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Current management strategies require refinement for optimal patient outcomes and functional restoration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe novel physiopathology and treatment approaches for orbital volume deficiencies.
  • To present techniques for managing post-enucleation/evisceration socket syndrome.
  • To provide guidelines for orbital decompression in Graves' orbitopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Placement of hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) synthetic material in intraconal orbital fat for socket syndrome.
  • Surgical techniques for implant placement after enucleation or evisceration, emphasizing appropriate initial implant sizing.
  • Indications for orbital decompression via fat or bone removal in Graves' orbitopathy.

Main Results:

  • Synthetic implant placement effectively corrects most symptoms of post-enucleation/evisceration socket syndrome.
  • Preventive strategies using adequately sized implants during initial surgery are crucial for future prosthesis fitting.
  • Orbital decompression offers a viable treatment option for proptosis associated with Graves' orbitopathy.

Conclusions:

  • Hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) implants are effective in managing orbital volume loss.
  • Proactive surgical planning with appropriate implant selection is key to preventing and treating orbital volume deficiencies.
  • Orbital decompression remains a relevant surgical intervention for managing proptosis in Graves' disease.
