    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Graves' disease commonly causes exophthalmos, leading to corneal exposure and disfigurement.
    • Orbital decompression is a surgical option for managing these complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey current practices in orbital decompression for Graves' disease.
    • To evaluate indications, surgical techniques, and outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Questionnaire distributed to members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) and the Orbital Society.
    • Analysis of responses regarding surgical approaches and patient results.

    Main Results:

    • Over 60% of decompressions were for exophthalmos; 3.9% were for compressive neuropathy.

  • Antral-ethmoidal decompression via translid approach showed fewer muscle balance issues than transantral.
  • Four-wall decompression yielded greatest retrodisplacement.

    • Conclusions:

    • The translid approach for antral-ethmoidal decompression is preferred for minimizing muscle imbalance.
    • Surgical technique choice impacts both symptom relief and potential complications like muscle imbalance.
