This study shows that a four-staged surgical approach effectively manages stable Graves' ophthalmopathy, improving vision and appearance. The staged operations achieved high success rates for orbital decompression, strabismus correction, and eyelid adjustments.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • Graves' ophthalmopathy is a chronic autoimmune condition affecting the eyes.
  • Stable Graves' ophthalmopathy often requires surgical intervention for functional and cosmetic improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a four-staged surgical treatment protocol for stable Graves' ophthalmopathy.
  • To assess outcomes of orbital decompression, strabismus surgery, and eyelid fissure adjustment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 51 patients with stable Graves' ophthalmopathy undergoing a four-staged surgical approach.
  • Stage I: Orbital decompression (n=32). Stage II: Strabismus surgery (n=24). Stage III: Fissure width adjustment (n=28). Stage IV: Cosmetic procedures (n=5).

Main Results:

  • Orbital decompression averaged 4.2 mm retroplacement, restoring vision and correcting proptosis.
  • Strabismus surgery achieved an 87% success rate, unaffected by prior surgeries.
  • Fissure width adjustment yielded an 89% satisfactory result rate, with Müllerectomy being most effective.

Conclusions:

  • A four-staged surgical strategy is effective for managing stable Graves' ophthalmopathy.
  • Individualized surgical goals and careful patient-doctor cooperation are crucial for successful outcomes.
