Vertical orbital translocation effectively corrects vertical orbital dystopia, significantly improving patient appearance. While complications can occur, the procedure is generally rewarding and worthwhile for cosmetic and functional restoration.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Vertical orbital dystopia can result from various pathological processes.
  • Correction of orbital dystopia is crucial for both aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical interventions for vertical orbital dystopia.
  • To assess outcomes of orbital translocation and camouflage procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 47 consecutive cases of vertical orbital dystopia over 13 years.
  • Analysis of patients undergoing eye leveling procedures, including orbital translocation and camouflage.
  • Documentation of secondary operations, complications, and visual outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-nine patients underwent eye leveling procedures (2 camouflage, 27 orbital translocation).
  • One death and serious complications in 3 patients; nuisance complications in 20.
  • Postoperative diplopia occurred in 7 patients, with persistent troublesome symptoms in 2, managed with muscle recession in 1.

Conclusions:

  • Vertical orbital translocation offers a modest but significant improvement in appearance.
  • The procedure is considered rewarding and worthwhile despite potential complications.
