| Popis: | Orbital surgery can result in damage to ocular and orbital structures, leading to a range of structural and visual sequelae, including corneal abrasions, globe malposition, diplopia, and blindness. Vision loss in particular is the most feared and devastating complication, occurs with an overall incidence of 0.84%, and can occur secondary to direct injury, optic nerve compression, or ischemic events. Different types of orbital surgery and surgical approaches carry their own hazards, and it is important to be mindful of these risks in addition to having a thorough understanding of individual risk factors and anatomical variations for each patient. Although universal guidelines for preserving vision in orbital surgery do not yet exist, there are concrete steps that every surgeon can take at the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stages to minimize the risk of injury and maximize the likelihood of preserving the eye and visual function. |
