Mukit, MD using an iPad and the Procreate app. Technique A #15 blade is used to make 2 parallel incisions that are connected at one end to develop two pillars of tarsoconjunctiva tissue, one corresponding to the medial limbus and one corresponding to the lateral limbus.

As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of bleeding, infection, swelling, and/or damage to surrounding structures. Other risks include premature separation, the need for reoperation, ankyloblepharon formation, pyogenic or suture granulomas, trichiasis, distichiasis, skin breakdown, lid margin deformities, and premature separation. [6] Pillar tarsorrhaphies have a unique complication of ectropion. [20] Reported side effects of neurotoxin tarsorrhaphies included preseptal hemorrhage, inadvertent injury to the globe, and superior rectus under action resulting in diplopia which can last up to 9 months after injection. [18] Outcomes The needle is then passed through the upper lid skin 3-4 mm above the lid margin, exiting through the meibomian gland orifices. Trivedi D, McCalla M, Squires Z, Parulekar M.

PMID: 24398490.The final step is to create the drawstring, the 2 suture arms are passed through the 3rd bolster (it is commonplace to make this smaller than the other ones) Khairy H. Botulinum toxin A-induced ptosis: A safe and effective alternative to surgical tarsorrhaphy for corneal protection. Journal of the Egyptian Ophthalmological Society. 2014;107(1):20-22. doi:10.4103/2090-0686.134937. The temporary suture tarsorrhaphy can be placed anywhere along the lid margins. If inspection of the cornea at intervals is desired, a drawstring tarsorrhaphy technique can be utilized. Topical anesthetic is instilled, and the central area of the upper and lower eye lid is injected with local anesthetic (lidocaine 1-2% with epinephrine). A medial tarsorrhaphy is another useful technique when applicable. This technique is modified to avoid damage to the canaliculi and involves making a V-shaped incision peripheral to the canaliculi to the upper and lower lids. The medial tarsorrhaphy is advantageous in that it does not interfere with peripheral vision.
