Great advances have been made in the past half-century in our understanding of meibomian gland function and of the many inflammatory, hormonal, and infectious processes leading to its dysfunction. These advances have led to an exploration of exciting new avenues for treatment of this common but frustrating disease entity.
We describe a new approach for the closure of eyelid margin defects. We conducted a prospective evaluation of patients undergoing the buried vertical mattress technique for full-thickness eyelid margin repair and found that 90 patients (follow-up, 3 to 18 months; average, 6 months) had eyelid margin defects closed with the use of a buried vertical mattress technique. There were no cases of dehiscence, and only 5 (5.5%) patients had minor notch formation. We conclude that the buried vertical mattress suture technique can be a safe and effective method to close eyelid margin defects while saving postoperative time and the cost of multiple sutures.
