Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery

Context:

  • Surgical management of corneal pathologies.
  • Eyelid abnormalities affecting ocular surface health.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of tarsorrhaphy in treating diverse corneal conditions.
  • To assess the outcomes of permanent and temporary tarsorrhaphies.

Summary:

  • A total of 68 tarsorrhaphies (39 permanent, 60 temporary) were performed between 1990-1994 for conditions including lagophthalmos, keratitis, corneal burns, and trophic ulcers.
  • Good postoperative results were achieved, with corneal lesion cure observed in 4-19 days.
  • Temporary tarsorrhaphy, maintained for 2-6 months, served as a crucial biologic, trophic, and tectonic bandage.

Impact:

  • Demonstrates tarsorrhaphy as an effective treatment for various corneal surface diseases.
  • Highlights the role of temporary tarsorrhaphy in promoting corneal healing and protection.
  • Provides evidence for the successful application of tarsorrhaphy in managing complex ocular surface disorders.
