Introduction: Complications of bony orbital decompression (BOD) are rather unreported and often neglected. The aim of this study was to assess the risks of this surgery.
Material And Methods: 44 patients (76 orbits) were studied. There were 19 malignant orbitopathies and 57 cosmetic rehabilitations. All side-effects and true complications were reported. A questionnaire was send to the patient and to his ophthalmologist.
Results: Infra-orbital hypoesthesia, oculomotor disorders, entropion, changes of lid position were the most frequent complications. A case of hypoglobus, a case of lacrimal stenosis, a case of decreased visual acuity were reported.
Discussion: Side-effects of BOD are frequent. Higher rates are even found in the literature. These effects tend to decrease spontaneously or can be treated by adequate medical or surgical care. Some measures are proposed to perform surgery safer.
Conclusion: More precise information should be given to the patients before surgery and a better prevention can be afforded.

Orbicularis Oculi Transpalpebral Pedicle Flap for the Repair of Laminar Resorption Associated With Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis.

November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a surgical procedure reserved for severe end-stage corneal blindness with a dry, keratinized ocular surface. Late resorption of bone has been described as a complication of this procedure. We present a novel surgical technique to repair laminar resorption associated with OOKP using transpalpebral split-pedicle orbicularis oculi flaps.

The treatment of pathologies located within and surrounding the orbit poses considerable surgical challenges, due to the intricate presence of critical neurovascular structures in such deep, confined spaces. Historically, transcranial and craniofacial approaches have been widely employed to deal with orbital pathologies. However, recent decades have witnessed the emergence of minimally invasive techniques aimed at reducing morbidity.

Objective: The authors aim to describe the advantages, utility, and disadvantages of the transpalpebral mini-orbitozygomatic (MOZ) approach for tumors of the lateral and superior orbit, orbital apex, anterior clinoid, anterior cranial fossa, middle cranial fossa, and parasellar region.
Methods: The surgical approach from skin incision to closure is described while highlighting key technical and anatomical considerations, and cadaveric dissection demonstrates the surgical steps and focuses on important anatomy. Intraoperative images were included to supplement the cadaveric dissection.
Transpalpebral/Blepharoplasty Incision and Supraorbital Craniotomy for the Treatment of Ethmoidal Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: A Case Series.

Article Synopsis
- Ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) pose treatment challenges due to their complex structure, and traditional surgical methods often lead to noticeable scarring; this study explores a minimally invasive approach using an eyelid incision.
- The study analyzed 6 patients who underwent surgery via a blepharoplasty incision, achieving 100% success in disconnecting the dAVFs without any serious complications; most issues were minor and self-resolving.
- The transpalpebral approach offers not only effective treatment with improved cosmetic outcomes but also enhanced access for surgeons, making it a promising option for managing ethmoidal dAVFs.
Evaluating spatial dependency of the spectral efficiency in trans-palpebral illumination for widefield fundus photography.

Multi-spectral widefield fundus photography is valuable for the clinical diagnosis and management of ocular conditions that may impact both central and peripheral regions of the retina and choroid. Trans-palpebral illumination has been demonstrated as an alternative to transpupillary illumination for widefield fundus photography without requiring pupil dilation. However, spectral efficiency can be complicated due to the spatial variance of the light property through the palpebra and sclera.
