Transpalpebral orbital lipectomy effectively reduces proptosis and improves vision in Graves' orbitopathy patients. This low-risk surgical technique offers significant benefits for both cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Graves' orbitopathy is an autoimmune condition affecting the eye socket.
  • Exophthalmos and visual disturbances are common symptoms requiring intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the short-term efficacy of transpalpebral orbital lipectomy.
  • Evaluate outcomes for cosmetic correction and vision improvement in Graves' orbitopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Transpalpebral orbital lipectomy performed on 50 orbits in 33 patients over 5 years.
  • Removed 2.0-6.5 ml of orbital connective tissue.
  • Indications included cosmetic exophthalmos correction, corneal damage, and visual acuity loss.

Main Results:

  • Proptosis reduced by an average of 3.2 mm.
  • Visual acuity improved in 4 of 5 patients with keratopathy.
  • Diplopia resolved in 4 of 13 patients; intraocular pressure normalized in 8 of 13.

Conclusions:

  • Transpalpebral orbital lipectomy is a safe and effective orbital decompression method.
  • Beneficial for both acute and chronic Graves' orbitopathy.
  • Offers significant cosmetic and functional improvements.
