Surgical Correction of Lower Lid Epiblepharon With Skin-Only Resection Using a Novel Design.

This study is to report the surgical outcome of lower lid epiblepharon repair with skin-only resection using a newly designed incision line. A retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series analysis of 134 eyes of 67 patients, who underwent surgical correction of lower lid epiblepharon with skin-only resection using the new incision design, was performed. After marking the 4 vertical lines at the medial canthus, punctum, midpoint, and lateral canthus, the upper and lower incision lines were drawn from the medial canthus through punctum to the lateral canthus with novel design.

Salvage of impending rhinostomy failure after dacryocystorhinostomy with office-based microdebrider treatment.

Purpose: This article is to introduce office-based salvage revision of impending rhinostomy failure after endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR), using a microdebrider.

Methods: The authors conducted retrospective medical chart review of 27 eyes of 26 patients who underwent microdebrider treatment for impending rhinostomy failure in an office setting. After local anesthesia, obstructive soft tissue, interfering with ostium function (granuloma, cicatrization, synechia), was treated with a microdebrider (Osseoduo s120, Bien-Air Surgery, Le Noirmont, Switzerland) within 6 months after primary EN-DCR.
