Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Thyroid eye disease (TED) presents with diverse ocular manifestations including proptosis, strabismus, and optic neuropathy.
  • TED progresses through an active phase (12-18 months) managed medically, followed by an inactive phase where surgical intervention is considered.
  • Fibrotic changes from active TED often necessitate surgical rehabilitation, primarily orbital decompression, during the inactive phase.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review technological and conceptual advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques for thyroid eye disease.
  • To highlight how modern surgical approaches enhance patient recovery and reduce complications in TED management.
  • To discuss the evolving indications and improved aesthetic outcomes of orbital decompression surgery for TED.
