“…Although the technique is relatively complicated and invasive, it is expected to prevent recurrence better than less invasive techniques that have been previously reported (Table 2), through the added procedure of connective tissue repair [5-9]. In the present study, no recurrence occurred, even in the six eyes with observation periods of more than five years; this potentially demonstrates the robust efficacy of the technique.…”

ObjectiveThis retrospective, single-center, interventional study presented the long-term results of a novel surgical technique for the management of subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse.MethodsNine eyes of seven consecutive patients were surgically repaired using the technique involving connective tissue repair and were intended to be followed-up for more than five years.ResultsAll surgeries performed were uneventful and esthetic enhancement was achieved for each patient. No postoperative complications were noted. There was no recurrence throughout the follow-up period; six eyes of four patients were followed-up for more than five years.ConclusionsThis technique with connective tissue repair achieved good long-term results.

“…Patients are mostly male [1-4]. Recently, several surgical techniques for this disorder have been described, some of which are advocated as being minimally invasive [5-9]. However, knowledge of long-term results after such surgeries is still insufficient [8,10].…”

“…Previous reports have shown that SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant occurs in both eyes in more than half of the cases. [1–4,13] In our experience, 65.9% of cases of SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant were bilateral. In contrast, 12 of 15 cases (80.0%) with SHOF in other locations were unilateral.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that more than 75% of patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant were male. [2–4,6,7,9,14,15] In our experience, 40 out of the 44 patients (90.9%) with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant were male. In addition, previous studies have shown that 38.5-76% of the cases were obese.…”

“…[1] In contrast, none of the previous reports mentioned characteristics of patients with SHOF in the other quadrants. However, according to previous reports, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] SHOF in other quadrants seems to occur unilaterally even in young, non-obese women. We supposed that patient characteristics are different between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant as opposed to those cases found in the other quadrants.…”

Subconjunctival herniated orbital fat (SHOF) usually occurs in the superotemporal quadrant, and SHOF located in other quadrants is extremely rare. This study aimed to compare the patient characteristics between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and those with SHOF in other quadrants. This is a retrospective study of 45 patients with SHOF who were referred to our institution between January 2015 and January 2023 and 14 previously reported patients in published case reports of SHOF that were not located in the superotemporal quadrant. Data on patient age, sex, affected sides, and body mass index were collected from the medical records of our institution and from previous reports. Patient age, male-to-female ratio, unilateral-to-bilateral ratio, and body mass index were compared between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and patients with SHOF in the other quadrants. Of the 45 patients, only 1 patient showed SHOF in a location other than the superotemporal quadrant (inferonasal quadrant). Based on a comparison of 44 patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and 15 patients with SHOF in the other quadrants, the latter entity predominantly occurred in young, non-obese females (P < .050). Unilateral cases were more common in SHOF in the other quadrants (P = .003). Patient characteristics were found to be different between cases of SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and those with SHOF in the other quadrants.
