Combining the Tunnel Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Flap Technique With Skin Grafting for Enhanced Adhesion in Burn-Induced Ectropion Repair

“…Moreover, its ability to resist skin contracture of the upper and lower eyelids is poor. 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.…”

Ophthalmic Assessment and Management in Acute Facial Palsy

“…A bolster tarsorrhaphy (also known as the drawstring technique) uses rubber bolsters and 6-0 prolene sutures that are passed through the eyelid margin. This technique provides complete eye closure whilst allowing the lids to be easily opened and closed [34]. Although this procedure is simple to perform and allows access to the eye for examination, it has risks which include eyelid margin necrosis, irregularities, vascular compromise causing lash loss [35].…”
