[Orbital decompression by the Olivari technique].
Orbital decompression using Olivari's method is described: extraconal fat is removed surgically from the orbit. Intraconal fat is also removed with the help of a microscope. Removal of at least 5 cc of orbital fat is necessary to reduce exophthalmos. Usually between 5 cc to 10 cc of fat are removed.
