连续埋线法重睑术的临床评价

目的 探讨连续埋线法重睑术的适应证和手术要点.方法 手术在局部麻醉下施行,从外眦向内眦沿睑板上缘作连续缝合,然后折返,外眦缝合口打结.结果 本组132例患者术后随访形成良好重睑者为121例,占92%;两侧重睑皱襞高低不一的7例,占5%;重睑消失的4例,占3%,后两者均补充埋线法或者切开法重睑术修复.结论 连续埋线法重睑术除适用于上睑皮肤较薄的年轻患者,也可扩大到中等以下程度的上睑皮肤松弛患者,以及以外侧为主的上睑臃肿者.     

中切口切开法重睑成形术

目的介绍一种简便有效，恢复快的中切口重睑成形术。详细阐述该方法的手术要点，重睑成形术所遵循的原则等。方法术前灵活定位，局部麻醉下做长15mm的小切口，去除切口内部分眼轮匝肌及睑板前脂肪．将上睑皮肤与睑板固定。结果采用中切口切开法重睑成形术180例，效果满意。结论中切口重睑成形术创伤小，恢复快，是一种简便有效的方法。术中应严格遵循无创操作，宁窄勿宽，对过度依赖额肌的患者，手术前后进行睁眼训练。     

Scleral show

Scleral show is an anatomical condition in which the sclera area is visibly exaggerated due to constitutional, evolutive, or endocrine etiology. It can also occur because of iatrogenies, and is considered one of the most complex blepharoplasty complications. Its evolution and poor response to treatment are questionable. The defect is not always linked to an ectropion, and the basic differences between the two are explained. During blepharoplasties, in order to avoid iatrogenic scleral show, among other complications, one should take special precautions with the quantity and the exact location of the tarsal portion of orbicularis oculi muscle to be resected.     

Quantitative efficacy of external and internal browpexy performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty

Browpexy surgery is a minimally invasive surgical adjunct to upper blepharoplasty. The traditional internal (IB) approach is well documented, while the newer external (EB) variant has only recently been described. To date, there is little quantitative data to evaluate the efficacy of either procedure, and no data to compare results between the two. We determine the efficacy of, and compare surgical results between, internal and external browpexy surgery in lifting the central and lateral brow. A 3.5-year retrospective review of patients undergoing internal and external browpexy surgery to assess the amount of central and lateral lift to the brow was performed. Patients undergoing blepharoplasty without brow lift were used as a control group. The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary FACE-gram program was used to quantify surgical outcome. Ninety-eight patients are included for review, with an average follow-up of 4–5 months. The average elevation in lateral/central brow position was 2.29 mm and 1.47 mm in the IB group, and 2.97 mm and 1.90 mm in the EB group. These were not statistically significant (p = 0.164, and p = 0.507, respectively). There was a statistically significant elevation in central and lateral brow height for both browpexy techniques and the control group (p < 0.001). External and internal browpexy surgery afford a similar, and non-statistically different, elevation of the central and lateral brow at 4–5 months. When compared to standalone blepharoplasty (control) the amount of lift for both procedures is statistically significant.     

Delayed Periocular Hemorrhage After Upper Blepharoplasty

Periocular and orbital hemorrhage are rare complications of blepharoplasty, with a reported incidence of 0.055%. These complications are even less common more than 48?h after surgery. The authors report 2 cases of postoperative hemorrhage 5 and 8 days following uncomplicated upper blepharoplasty in which the initiating factor seems to have been uncontrolled hypertension. Details of the presentation, management and follow-up of each patient are described. These cases serve as an important reminder that patients must be appropriately counseled regarding the postoperative implications of their systemic conditions.
