Endoscopic orbital decompression
Description
Orbital decompression surgery has been indicated in patients with compressive optic neuropathy,
severe corneal exposure, cosmetic deformity due to proptosis. Traditional orbital decompression
approaches were fraught with complications. With the advent of nasal endoscopes decompression
is being carried out transnasally under endoscopic guidance. The entire medial wall of orbit can be
taken down transnasally using nasal endoscope, and the inferior wall of orbit can be removed using
the same approach. Currently endoscopic orbital decompression is being preformed commonly
with very minimal complications. The aim of this paper is to review the current literature on the
subject. This record was migrated from the OpenDepot repository service in June, 2017 before shutting down.
