| Summary: | “Balanced” bone decompression of the orbit was performed in a patient with endocrine ophthalmopathy, CAS3, OD=30 mm, OS=31 mm with the use of minimally invasive transconjunctival approaches and frameless neuronavigation. At the first stage the preoperative computed tomography of the orbits was imported into the navigation software, and then marked the area of the proposed resection of the orbit walls. Further, in the operating room, the patient was registered in the navigation system. To perform bone decompression of the orbit and lipectomy, we used preseptal, transcaruncular and lateral retrocanthal approaches. These approaches are transconjunctival and do not leave postoperative scars. Upon completion of the orbitotomy, its accuracy and dimensions were determined by the intraoperative pointer of the neuronavigation system.Results. The postoperative period was uneventful. In the early postoperative period there was a regression of exophthalmus OD=26 mm, OS=27 mm, closure of the eye gap, but retraction of the eyelids remained. When examined 3 months after the operation, the exophthalmic regression was OD=23 mm, OS=24 mm, retraction of the eyelids — 1 mm, with lead — finishing to the lateral adhesion. When examined after 6 months — the position of the eyeballs in orbit: ОD=21 mm, ОS=22 mm, retraction of the eyelids is not present, there is no violation of oculomotorics, complications were not recorded. A satisfactory result was obtained.Conclusion. Minimally invasive transorbital approaches allow the transconjunctival acces to all orbital walls to perform decompression of the orbit and lipectomy without cutaneous incisions, to achieve good cosmetic and functional results. And the intraoperative use of the neuronavigation system ensures the bone decompression of the orbit in full. The technique is promising and requires further randomized studies. |
