摘要
Purpose:To describe a buried variation of the temporary suture tarsorrhaphy and determine its efficacy period.Methods:This retrospective case review includes 11 patients needing corneal protection. Six patients had lagophthalmos from facial nerve palsy, 4 had cicatricial ectropion, and 1 had neurotrophic keratopathy. A total of 14 buried temporary suture tarsorrhaphies (BTSTs) were placed. The duration of the BTST was the main outcome. The corneal status before and throughout the BTST was monitored. The eyelids were examined for any undesired changes from the BTST.Results:The mean duration of the BTST was 97.5 days, with a maximum of 273 days. Aside from one spontaneous dehiscence 5 days after placement, all BTSTs held until intentional removal. Five BTSTs were removed for a more definitive surgical procedure, 6 were removed after resolution of the initial indication, and 2 are still in place as the patient awaits surgery. All cases of keratopathy improved after BTST placement. There were no complications and no undesired eyelid changes.Conclusions:The BTST is a simple, fast, safe, and effective procedure that can be performed in the clinic or inpatient to immediately improve ocular surface coverage. As a minimally invasive procedure that can easily last several months, the BTST is an excellent option for patients who require more intense intervention than medical management alone. It can also securely bridge patients to a permanent solution such as lateral canthal resuspension. This buried variation of the suture temporary tarsorrhaphy is a minimal yet durable option, lasting for a mean of 97.5 days and maximum of 273 days.
