Orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease: surgical treatment outcomes in endocrinological assessment.

Introduction: Surgical orbital decompression involves removal of one or more of the orbital bony walls in order to gain space for overgrown muscles and adipose tissue, which results in a reduction in pressure on the eye. This observational study aims to perform an endocrinological assessment of the surgical treatment outcomes of thyroid eye disease (TED) patients before and after orbital decompression.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 51 TED patients (84 orbits) who underwent endoscopic orbital decompression (EOD) or balanced orbital decompression.

Vertical partial frontolateral laryngectomy with simultaneous pedunculated sternothyroid muscle flap reconstruction of the vocal fold - surgical procedure and treatment outcomes.

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of the study was to present the treatment outcomes after vertical partial laryngectomy with or without pedunculated sternothyroid muscle flap reconstruction following the resection of neoplasm-infiltrated vocal fold. The procedure was used in a patient with glottic cancer. Oncological outcomes, morphology of neo-vocal fold and the act of swallowing were evaluated.
