My colleagues and I discuss our latest orbital decompression techniques in this recent article that was published in the Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Journal. Orbital decompression is type of orbital (eye socket) surgery that restores the normal volume in the eye socket so that the eyeball can rest in a more appropriate position. One of the most common reasons we perform orbital decompression is in patients who have thyroid-related eye problems. This article discusses the various ways we go about in performing orbital decompression.
