Transantral orbital decompression effectively reduces proptosis in Graves' disease patients. This surgical approach offers significant ophthalmological improvements and high patient satisfaction despite moderate morbidity.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Graves' disease frequently causes orbital complications, including proptosis and visual disturbances.
  • Transantral orbital decompression is a surgical option for managing these orbital complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of transantral orbital decompression in patients with Graves' disease.
  • To assess the impact on proptosis, visual acuity, diplopia, and patient satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-five patients with Graves' disease underwent transantral orbital decompression.
  • Outcomes including proptosis reduction, visual acuity changes, and diplopia development were monitored post-operatively.

Main Results:

  • Average proptosis reduction was 3 mm at 1 month, increasing to 4.5 mm long-term.
  • 70% of patients showed immediate improvement in visual acuity.
  • Post-operative diplopia occurred in 32% of patients, with 83% successfully treated by further surgery.
  • 65% found the procedure beneficial, and 76% were satisfied with the ophthalmological results.

Conclusions:

  • Transantral orbital decompression provides good results for orbital complications of Graves' disease.
  • The procedure demonstrates moderate morbidity but yields significant patient benefits and satisfaction.
