Popis: To evaluate the outcome of orbital decompression, strabismus and/or eyelid surgery in patients with moderate to severe thyroid-associated orbitopathy, when combined approach is preferred.Retrospective, comparative, non-randomized review of 45 patients operated on from 2015 to 2018. Simultaneous decompression, eyelid and/or strabismus surgery was performed in 34 eyes of 20 subjects (group 1). Patients with multi-step procedures were used as control groups: group 2 included patients with staged decompression and eyelid retraction surgery (15 cases, 19 eyes); group 3 included patients with staged decompression and vertical strabismus surgery (10 cases, 13 eyes). Mean follow-up was 2.9 ± 1.8 years. Mann Whitney two-tailed test was used for paired data, and Fisher's exact test for categorical data;Changes in margin reflex distance were not significantly different among patients of subgroup 1A (11 patients, one-step decompression/eyelid surgery) and group 2 (Simultaneous orbital decompression, strabismus and/or eyelid surgery resolved dysthyroid optic neuropathy, decreased proptosis, improved diplopia and eyelid position with a range comparable to that of a multi-step technique. If confirmed in prospective controlled studies, a one-stage approach might be advised to reduce the costs and time needed for rehabilitation in selected patients.
