Abstract

Oculoplastic procedures well within the capabilities of most ophthalmic surgeons are described. Only those conditions most commonly encountered are discussed and the corrective surgery is illustrated. If required, all procedures described may be carried out under local anaesthesia in a minor operations room. The operative techniques described are those used by the author.

Refinements of the tarsal strip procedure.

We present several refinements in technique that simplify the tarsal strip procedure and enhance its results. Among these refinements are: electrosurgical deepithelialization of conjunctiva and lid margin, use of a V-shaped needle, direct needle passage about the lateral orbital tubercle, and the parallel placement of a buried absorbable suture to unite the upper and lower lid margins and to maintain a long-lasting sharp canthal angle. We have used these maneuvers in 45 patients with few complications; patient acceptance has been high. Also, we have found that using these maneuvers is helpful in teaching the procedure to residents.
