Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • The medial canthus is crucial for ocular shape and lacrimal drainage.
  • Medial canthal tendon repair is prone to complications such as canthal drift and hardware extrusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a long-standing, low-complication technique for medial canthal tendon repair.
  • To review the long-term outcomes of this specific surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A stepwise description of a surgical technique refined over 25 years.
  • Review of 33 patient charts with diverse indications (trauma, neoplasm, congenital deformity).

Main Results:

  • The technique demonstrated a low rate of complications, with only 2 cases of canthal drift noted.

Related Experiment Videos

  • These cases of canthal drift were successfully managed with the same technique without recurrence.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described medial canthopexy technique effectively minimizes common complications.
    • This approach offers a stable and reliable method for medial canthal reconstruction.
