ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Conheça as características demográficas e clínicas da Órbita Associada da Tiroide (OAT), bem como a taxa de exigência da cirurgia orbital em pacientes do Centro Médico Nacional do Oeste. Métodos. Estudo observacional, transversal, descritivo e retrospetivo realizado analisando os registos de pacientes diagnosticados com OAT tratados num centro de cuidados de terceiro nível de janeiro de 2005 a julho de 2016. Os resultados. Um total de 236 órbitas de 118 pacientes foram avaliados, com uma idade média de 47,3 (13,2 anos, 74,6% eram do sexo feminino e 25,4% masculinos. 4,2% dos doentes foram tratados com hipotiroidismo, 94,1% com hipertireoidismo e 1,7% com goiter tóxico difuso. 44,9% dos doentes estudados com restrição de movimento ocular,10,2% com queratopatia de exposição e 51,7% com hipertensão intraocular. 34,7% dos doentes avaliados no serviço necessitaram de descompressão orbital, 16,1% de cirurgia palpebral e 8,5% de correção do hatrabisma. Na gestão conservadora destes doentes, 48,3% exigiam o uso de lubrificantes tópicos dos olhos, enquanto 52,5% dos pacientes necessitavam do uso de hipotensivos oculares em número variável. As conclusões. A OAT foi associada principalmente ao hipertiroidismo, sendo mais comum em pacientes do sexo feminino entre os 40 e os 59 anos; mais de 50% dos pacientes necessitaram do uso de hipotensivos oculares. Da mesma forma, a gestão cirúrgica foi realizada em mais de 50% dos pacientes, sendo a descompressão orbital a intervenção mais frequente.


ABSTRACT Objective. To know the demographic and clinical characteristics of Thyroid Associated Orbitopathy (TAO), as well as the requirement rate of orbital surgery in patients of the Orbit Service in the National Medical Center of the West, IMSS. Methods. Observational, cross-cutting, descriptive and retrospective study carried out analyzing the records of patients diagnosed with TAO and treated at a third-level care center from January 2005 to July 2016. Results. A total of 236 orbits of 118 patients were valued, with an average age of 47.3 ± 13.2 years, 74.6% were female and 25.4% male. 4.2% of patients were treated with hypothyroidism, 94.1% with hyperthyroidism and 1.7% with diffuse toxic goiter. 44.9% of patients studied had eye movement restriction,10.2% exposure keratopathy and 51.7% intraocular hypertension. 34.7% of patients valued in the service required orbital decompression, 16.1% palpebral surgery and 8.5% strabism correction. In the conservative management of these patients 48.3% required the use of topical eye lubricants, while 52.5% required the use of eye hypotensives in variable numbers. Conclusions. TAO was mainly associated with hyperthyroidism, being more common in female patients between the age of 40 and 59; more than 50% of patients required the use of eye hypotensives. Likewise, surgical management was performed in more than 50% of patients, with orbital decompression being the most frequent intervention.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La cirugía oculoplástica estudia y trata los trastornos de párpados, órbita y vías lagrimales. Entre las patologías más importantes por frecuencia e impacto tenemos: ptosis palpebral, blefarochalasis, ectropión y entropión. OBJETIVO: Analizar la experiencia del Hospital El Pino en cuanto al manejo de patología oculoplástica en manos de un cirujano plástico. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO: Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se revisaron fichas de pacientes operados con diagnóstico de blefarochalasis, ptosis palpebral, ectropión y entropión entre los años 2010 y 2017. Se analizaron datos como edad, sexo, comorbilidades, causa del defecto, cirugía oculoplástica, tipo de anestesia, complicación posoperatoria, tiempo de seguimiento y resultados. RESULTADOS: Entre los años 2010 y 2017 se operaron 79 pacientes con patología oculoplástica, 17 por ptosis palpebral, 42 por blefarochalasis, 14 por ectropión y 6 por entropión, siendo la principal causa senil (93,7%). Las cirugías realizadas fueron: pexia del elevador para Ptosis palpebral, blefaroplastía para blefarochalasis y para ectropión-entropión tarsal strip. La principal técnica anestésica utilizada fue anestesia local + sedación (54,4%). Entre el total de complicaciones posoperatorias tenemos: lagoftalmo (2 casos), ectropión residual (3 casos), conjuntivitis (3 casos), dehiscencia de herida (2 casos) y hematoma palpebral (1 caso). Se reintervinieron 6 pacientes por complicaciones. Los resultados obtenidos según la evaluación subjetiva del cirujano plástico y pacientes fueron regular (5 casos), bueno (20 casos) y muy bueno (54 casos). CONCLUSIÓN: El manejo de la patología oculoplástica requiere en su mayoría de cirugías ambulatorias con buenos resultados y poca morbilidad, lo cual es factible de realizar en un hospital público. Creemos necesario el uso de algún instrumento objetivo para evaluar de mejor manera los defectos palpebrales y su corrección.


INTRODUCTION: The oculoplastic surgery studies and treats disorders of the eyelids, orbit and lacrimal ways. Among the most important pathologies by frequency and impact are: palpebral ptosis, blepharochalasis, ectropion and entropion. AIM: Analyze the experience of El Pino Hospital regarding the management of oculoplastic pathology in the hands of a plastic surgeon. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Descriptive and retrospective study. We reviewed files of patients operated with diagnosis of blepharochalasis, palpebral ptosis, ectropion and entropion between the years 2010 and 2017. Data were analyzed as age, sex, comorbidities, cause of the defect, oculoplastic surgery, type of anesthesia, postoperative complication, follow-up time and results. RESULTS: Between the years 2010 and 2017, 79 patients with oculoplastic pathology operated, 17 for palpebral ptosis, 42 for blefarochalasis, 14 for ectropion and 6 for entropion, being the main senile cause (93,7%). The surgeries performed were: elevator pexis for palpebral ptosis, blepharoplasty for blefarochalasis and for ectropion-entropion tarsal strip. The main anesthetic technique used was local anesthesia + sedation (54,4%). Among the total postoperative complications, we have: lagophthalmos (2 cases), residual ectropion (3 cases), conjunctivitis (3 cases), wound dehiscence (2 cases) and palpebral hematoma (1 case). Six patients were reoperated due to complications. The results obtained according to the subjective evaluation of the plastic surgeon were regular (5 cases), good (20 cases) and very good (54 cases). CONCLUSION: Management of oculoplastic pathology requires mostly ambulatory surgeries with good results and low morbidity, which is feasible to perform in a public hospital. We believe it is necessary to use some objective instrument to better evaluate the palpebral defects and their correction.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose: to determine the prevalence of different types of strabismus submitted to a surgical procedure in a public hospital in the Brazilian Federal District. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional review of medical records of patients who underwent strabismus surgery performed by the same surgeon from 2004 to 2014. Incomplete records were excluded from the study. Variables included sex, age, type of strabismus, type of surgery, and re-surgeries. Strabismus was classified into three main types (esotropia, exotropia, and pure vertical deviation), and their subtypes. The type of surgery was determined by the number of muscles operated on (up to two, or more than two), the involvement of oblique and vertical rectus muscles, and muscle displacement. Results: 563 patients were reviewed and 531 were included in the study. The average age was 12.7 years, and females accounted for 54.4% of total patients. Esotropia was the most frequent type of strabismus (74%), followed by exotropia (23.7%) and pure vertical deviation (2.3%). The most frequent subtype of esotropia was infantile (49.1%), with 16.1% of these surgeries performed before the age of 2. Constant exotropia was the most frequent subtype of exotropia (27.8%). The prevalence of esotropia decreased with age, whereas that of exotropia increased. 52.3% of surgeries involved more than two muscles. An association between different types of deviation was found in 58.9% of patients. In cases of paralytic strabismus, the sixth nerve was the most affected (46%). Re-surgeries accounted for 10.7% of total surgeries. Conclusion s: Esotropias were the most common types of strabismus, especially infantile esotropia. Most cases were associated with other types of deviation, and needed more complex surgeries, involving more than two muscles. This study expects to contribute to the planning of health measures that may effectively improve the assistance provided to the population.


Resumo Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência dos diferentes tipos de estrabismo submetidos a intervenção cirúrgica em um hospital público de Brasília, Brasil. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de corte transversal de prontuários médicos dos pacientes submetidos a cirurgias de estrabismo por um mesmo cirurgião, de 2004 e 2014. Foram excluídos prontuários incompletos. Variáveis pesquisadas incluíram sexo, idade, classificação do estrabismo, tipo da cirurgia e reoperações. Os estrabismos foram classificados em três tipos principais (esotropia, exotropia e desvio vertical puro) e seus subtipos. Avaliação do tipo da cirurgia considerou o número de músculos operados (intervenção em até 2 ou em mais músculos), o envolvimento de músculos oblíquos, retos verticais e transposição muscular. Resultados: Foram avaliadas 563 pacientes e 531 foram incluídas na análise. A média de idade foi 12,7 anos e o sexo feminino respondeu por 54,4%. A esotropia foi o tipo de estrabismo mais frequente (74%), seguido pela exotropia (23,7%) e desvio vertical puro (2,3%). O subtipo de esotropia mais frequente foi o infantil (49,1%), com 16,1% destas cirurgias realizadas antes dos 2 anos de vida. A exotropia constante foi o subtipo mais observado (27,8%) de exotropia. A proporção de esotropia diminuiu com a idade, enquanto a de exotropia aumentou. 52,3% das cirurgias envolveram mais de dois músculos. Associação de diferentes tipos de desvio foi observada em 58,9% dos pacientes. Dentre os estrabismos paralíticos, o VI nervo foi o mais acometido (46%). Reoperações corresponderam a 10,7% do total. Conclusão: As esotropias foram os estrabismos cirúrgicos mais comuns, especialmente a esotropia infantil. A maioria dos casos estava associada a outras formas de desvio e necessitaram de cirurgias mais complexas, envolvendo mais de 2 músculos. Espera-se que dados do estudo possam contribuir no planejamento de ações de saúde efetivas para melhorar a assistência à população.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar as condutas mais utilizadas no tratamento da cavidade anoftálmica no Brasil, comparando-as com a realidade mundial. MÉTODOS: Estudo exploratório, usando questionário eletrônico enviado pela Internet para oftalmologistas membros da Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica Ocular, Vias Lacrimais e Órbita - SBCPO. As respostas obtidas foram avaliadas por meio de análise de aderência, utilizando o teste do Qui-quadrado. RESULTADOS: Foram recebidos 75 questionários respondidos. Cinquenta e três por cento dos entrevistados tratam cavidade anoftálmica frequentemente e o implante de esfera de polimetilmatacrilato, de 18 mm de diâmetro, é o usado pelos entrevistados na maioria das cirurgias, sendo revestido principalmente com esclera (92%). Apenas sete entrevistados já utilizaram implante acoplado com prótese externa. Oitenta e dois por cento dos entrevistados usam a técnica do enxerto dermoadiposo. O acompanhamento destes pacientes é feito semestralmente pela maior parte dos entrevistados. CONCLUSÃO: O tratamento da cavidade anoftálmica no Brasil geralmente é feito usando a esfera de polimetilmetacrilato, de diâmetro 18 milímetros. Implantes acoplados dificilmente são usados.


PURPOSE: To determine the most common approach to repair the anophthalmic socket in Brazil, and to compare the data with the trends in other countries. METHODS: Exploratory study using electronic questionnaire sent by Internet to ophthalmologists members of the Brazilian Orbit and Oculoplastic Society (SBCPO). The received answers were analyzed by adhesion analysis, using Chi-square test. RESULTS: We received 75 answered questionnaires. Fifty-three per cent of the respondents frequently treat anophthalmic socket and use the 18 mm diameter polymethylmethacrylate sphere in the majority of the surgeries, mainly covered by sclera (92%). Only seven interviewees had used integrated implants with pegging procedure. Eighty-two per cent of the ophthalmologists use the dermolipid graft to reconstruct the anophthalmic socket. They also follow the patients bi-annually. CONCLUSIONS: The treatment of anophthalmic socket in Brazil generally involve polymethylmethacrylate sphere with 18 mm diameter. Pegging procedure is uncommon between us.

ABSTRACT

La implementación del Régimen de Garantías Explícitas en Salud (GES) el año 2005 y la incorporación de siete patologías oftalmológicas de alta prevalencia y o potencial riesgo de compromiso severo de la visión ha mejorado en forma significativa la cobertura de atención oftalmológica en nuestro país. Han disminuido los tiempos de espera para los diagnósticos y tratamientos de estas patologías ciñéndose a guías clínicas y protocolos de atención basados en la evidencia científica existente, confeccionados por la autoridad sanitaria con la colaboración de las sociedades científicas correspondientes, estableciendo normas de calidad. De las patologías incluidas -retinopatía del prematuro, vicios de refracción en mayores de 65 años, estrabismo en menores de nueve años, desprendimiento de retina y trauma ocular grave- son la retinopatía diabética y el tratamiento quirúrgico de la catarata los que han tenido un mayor impacto. Como estrategias para mejorar estas coberturas, además de continuar con los procesos de capacitación del recurso humano y la implementación con nuevos equipos e instrumental, se debe potenciar la resolutividad en la atención primaria hasta lograr en un 80 por ciento solucionar las consultas oftalmológicas a este nivel con el oftalmólogo, el tecnólogo médico con mención en oftalmología y el técnico paramédico


GES (Garantías Explícitas en Salud) implementation in 2005 and the incorporation of seven high - prevalence ophthalmological pathologies and / or its potential risk of severe vision compromise, have significantly improved the cover in the ophthalmic attention in our country; waiting times have diminished for diagnoses and treatments of these pathologies, attaining to clinical guidelines and attention protocols based in the present scientific evidence made by the medical authority with the cooperation of the corresponding scientific society, establishing quality rules. Among the pathologies that are included, premature retinopathy, refraction of vision habits in people older than 65 years-old, strabismus in children less than 9 years-old, detachment of the retina, severe ocular trauma, being diabetic retinopathy and cataract operation the ones that have had major impact. Some of the strategies used to improve these covers, apart from continuing with people training programs and the implementation of new equipments and their instrumental, resolution in primary attention must be improved until achieving an 80 percent of solving ophthalmological consultations in this level with the ophthalmologist, the medical technologist specialized in ophthalmology and the technical paramedic.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analizar epidemiología del trauma ocular. Materiales y método: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de hospitalizaciones por trauma ocular en Hospital Regional de Concepción entre 2004 y 2005 según clasificación BETT. Resultados: De 12.280 urgencias oftalmológicas realizadas, 153 (1,2 por ciento) requirieron hospitalización. 85 por ciento fueron varones y 80 por ciento menores de 40 años. El lugar del trauma fue el hogar (30,4 por ciento) y trabajo (29,6 por ciento). El 54 por ciento fue trauma cerrado (contusión: 34 por ciento) y el 46 por ciento abierto (penetrante 22 por ciento, CEIO: 11 por ciento), resultando en amaurosis 83 por ciento de heridas perforantes y 81,8 por ciento de roturas oculares. Egresaron 410 pacientes de otros servicios con códigos asociados a trauma ocular como: trauma oculorbitario (55 por ciento), fractura de órbita (19,2 por ciento), cuerpo extraño (10 por ciento), herida palpebral (9 por ciento) entre otros. La incidencia de hospitalización por trauma ocular fue 33,2 casos/100.000 habitantes/año. Conclusiones: El trauma ocular afecta a hombres jóvenes laboralmente activos. Su impacto social-laboral hace necesaria la prevención y educación. La clasificación BETT es necesaria para estandarizar trabajos.


Objective: To analyze epidemiology of ocular trauma. Materials and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of hospitalizations secondary to ocular trauma in Regional Hospital of Conception between 2004 and 2005 according to classification BETT. Results: Out of 12,280 ophthalmologic urgencies, 153 (1.2 percent) required hospitalization. 85 percent were men and 80 percent were 40 years old or less. The place where the trauma occured was home (30.4 percent) and work (29.6 percent). 54 percent were closed ocular trauma (contusion: 34 percent) and 46 percent open ocular trauma (penetrating 22 percent, IOFB: 11 percent), amaurosis was a consecuence in 83 percent of perforating wounds and 81.8 percent of ocular breakage. 410 patients withdrew from other clinical services with associated codes to ocular trauma like: orbit-ocular trauma (55 percent), orbit fractures (19.2 percent), ocular foreign body (10 percent), palpebral wound (9 percent) among others. The incidence of hospitalization by ocular trauma was 33.2 cases/100.000 inhabitants/year. Conclusions: The ocular trauma affects working active young men. Its social-labor impact makes the prevention and education necessary. BETT classification is necessary to standardize studies.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Evaluar las diferencias en la inducción de aberraciones de alto orden, coma, trefoil, aberración esférica y astigmatismo irregular entre pacientes operados con Lasik y Lasek, con ablación personalizada y con ablación convencional. Diseño: Retrospectivo. Participantes: 78 ojos pertenecientes a 51 pacientes, 31 mujeres y 20 hombres, miopes hasta 8 dioptrías, hipermétropes hasta 5 dioptrías, astigmatismo hasta 3 dioptrías. Cirugía: Se utilizó el láser Cx-5000 de Nidek; el programa Final- Fit versión 1.05 para la cirugía personalizada: el queratómetro MK_2000 de corte nasal, para la preparación del flap en el Lasik. La cirugía Lasek se practicó con alcohol absoluto al 18 por ciento con un máximo de 40 seg. Mediciones: Se seleccionaron retrospectivamente las topografías y aberrometrías obtenidas en el Nidek OPD-Scan. Los valores de Coma, Trefoil, Astigmatismo de Alto Orden, y Aberración esférica fueron tabulados. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi-Cuadrado para determinar la normalidad de los datos y la prueba de Fisher para determinar el nivel de significancia. Resultados: Las aberraciones de alto orden aumentaron significativamente con el Lasik convencional. Las aberraciones disminuyeron con el Lasek personalizado. Las aberraciones tipo coma aumentan con el Lasik personalizado, más que con las otras técnicas quirúrgicas. Conclusiones: Las aberraciones de alto orden sufren un menor aumento con la técnica de Lasek y ablación personalizado al usar el equipo quirúrgico de Nidek. Existe una tendencia a inducir coma al utilizar Lasik y ablación personalizada con este sistema.

ABSTRACT

Apresentada casuística de 101 pacientes operados no Hospital dos Servidores-RJ pela técnica de retinopexia pneumática, entre 1986 e 1991. Setenta e cinco olhos em 75 pacientes tiveram sua retina reaplicada (74,25 por cento) por no mínimo 6 meses. Foram incluídos pacientes (n=29) com roturas múltiplas, roturas maiores que 1 h, portadores de PVR até C3, afásicos e pseudofásicos, e previamente operados pela técnica de introflexäo escleral.
