Tóm tắt

   Graves’ orbitopathy is a complex autoimmune disorder of the orbit that causes the eye to appear disfigured or results in loss of vision. The treatment of critical cases can be very challenging. In 2022, the American Thyroid Association (ATA) and European Thyroid Association (ETA) joined forces to produce the Consensus Statement for TED, clearly mentioning the indications for orbital decompression surgery. Orbital decompression is widely presumed to improve exophthalmos and compressive or stretch optic neuropathy. The relative efficacy and complications of such surgery for the specific indications remain not yet definite. The paper showed the indications of orbit decompression surgery and reviewed current published evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of these procedures for TED. Customized treatment plans incorporate individual anatomy, orbital pathology, and surgery objectives to maximize therapeutic benefit while minimizing morbidity.
