Abstract:
A simple and effective method of temporary tarsorrhaphy, which is referred to as intermarginal serpentine temporary tarsorrhaphy, is presented. The tarsorrhaphy is created by passing a 6-0 Prolene suture in a serpentine manner across the eyelids, entering and exiting from the eyelid margin. This type of tarsorrhaphy is easy to perform, has few disadvantages, and is very effective.
