Abstract
Objective:
To study the curative effect of transnasal medial canthopexy.
Methods:
By a coronal or medial canthal incision, we applied transnasal medial canthopexy to repair medial canthal detachment. A total of 78 patients received the operation.
Results:
Of them, 64 patients obtained satisfactory postoperative appearance with one operation; 6 patients obtained satisfactory results with two operations. The operation was unsuccessful in 8 patients.
Conclusion:
This method is one of the ideal methods of repairing medial canthal detachment, however its indications should be observed.
