“…Subsequent improvement strategies implemented to address these issues include several techniques, such as pressure dressing, 13 bolsters, 14 , 15 bolsterless intratarsal, 16 , 17 drawstring, 18 and loop lock. 19 However, while these approaches aim to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications associated with eyelid surgery and skin grafting procedures, they have not exhibited significant improvements in adhesion strength. Therefore, we aimed to describe a simple and safe eyelid adhesion method designed to prevent the recurrence of skin contracture and ectropion after eyelid skin grafting.…”

Purpose: Scar contracture of the eyelid following facial burns often has adverse consequences. Total cicatricial contracture often makes adjustment flap translation challenging to implement. Previously used upper and lower eyelid adhesion methods are ineffective for patients with severe cicatricial contracture, and ectropion can easily recur. This study aimed to retrospectively examine upper and lower eyelid adhesions using an orbicularis oculi muscle flap and verify its stability. Methods: In patients with ectropion caused by severe scar contracture following head and face burns, we employed a tunnel orbicularis oculi muscle flap technique, which involved creating a tunnel between the skin and the tarsal plate of the eyelid, mobilizing the orbicularis oculi muscle, and rotating it into this tunnel to provide stable adhesion of the upper and lower eyelids. Full-thickness skin grafting was then performed. The eyelids were examined postoperatively to determine whether reoperation was necessary and to monitor for any potential complications. Results: This study included 26 patients and 46 eyes. No accidental disconnection occurred after eyelid adhesion, which lasted for an average of 21.87 ± 10.08 months before the eyelid adhesion was cut open. No complications or adverse reactions occurred, and the adhesions did not break unexpectedly. Conclusions: Repairing eyelid ectropion with the tunnel orbicularis oculi muscle flap is a simple procedure that immediately creates tension against upper and lower eyelid contractures, providing long-term stable adhesion. This method avoids structural disorders, such as eyelid margin scarring, minimally influences surrounding tissues, and has few postoperative complications. It holds great value for repairing eyelid tissue defects and warrants further study.

“…Various materials have been used, ranging from cyanoacrylate glue, 1 neurotoxins, 2 hyaluronic acid fillers, 3,4 and sutures. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Suture tarsorrhaphies are commonly used as they are easily accessible and provide more predictable corneal coverage. Even within the temporary suture tarsorrhaphy, numerous techniques are used such as with bolsters, 5,6 bolsterless intratarsal, 7,8 drawstring, 9 and loop lock, 10 each with their own advantages.…”

Purpose: To describe a buried variation of the temporary suture tarsorrhaphy and determine its efficacy period. Methods: This retrospective case review includes 11 patients needing corneal protection. Six patients had lagophthalmos from facial nerve palsy, 4 had cicatricial ectropion, and 1 had neurotrophic keratopathy. A total of 14 buried temporary suture tarsorrhaphies (BTSTs) were placed. The duration of the BTST was the main outcome. The corneal status before and throughout the BTST was monitored. The eyelids were examined for any undesired changes from the BTST. Results: The mean duration of the BTST was 97.5 days, with a maximum of 273 days. Aside from one spontaneous dehiscence 5 days after placement, all BTSTs held until intentional removal. Five BTSTs were removed for a more definitive surgical procedure, 6 were removed after resolution of the initial indication, and 2 are still in place as the patient awaits surgery. All cases of keratopathy improved after BTST placement. There were no complications and no undesired eyelid changes. Conclusions: The BTST is a simple, fast, safe, and effective procedure that can be performed in the clinic or inpatient to immediately improve ocular surface coverage. As a minimally invasive procedure that can easily last several months, the BTST is an excellent option for patients who require more intense intervention than medical management alone. It can also securely bridge patients to a permanent solution such as lateral canthal resuspension.
