    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Endocrinology
    • Surgery

    Background:

    • Graves' disease can cause chronic ophthalmopathy, affecting the eyes.
    • Sequelae of Graves' disease involving the orbit require effective treatment options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple, safe method for treating Graves' ophthalmopathy sequelae.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of orbital fat removal via anterior orbitotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 17 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy underwent orbital fat removal through anterior orbitotomy.
    • Surgical outcomes were assessed to determine the effectiveness of the procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Orbital fat removal via anterior orbitotomy was found to be a useful adjunct in patient rehabilitation.
    • Thirty-eight additional cases, not part of this study, required further procedures for complete rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Anterior orbitotomy with orbital fat removal is a viable surgical option for managing Graves' ophthalmopathy.
    • This method contributes to the rehabilitation of patients suffering from chronic eye complications of Graves' disease.
