Comparison of rim-sparing versus rim-removal techniques in deep lateral wall orbital decompression for Graves’ orbitopathy

The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of deep lateral orbital decompression using the rim-sparing technique versus the rim-removal technique in Graves' orbitopathy (GO). A retrospective cohort study of 75 orbits in 50 patients with GO was performed. Proptosis, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), upper and lower lid margin to reflex distances (MRD-1 and MRD-2, respectively), diplopia, ocular restriction, and GO quality of life (GO-QOL) questionnaire results were analyzed pre- and postoperatively.
