ABSTRACT
Eyelid has rare infection and good wound healing due to rich blood supply, but often lead to excessive bleeding during surgery. Thus, bleeding control in time of operation is very important to secure operation field and minimize subcutaneous hemorrhage and edema after operation. Retrospectively, we analized intra- and post-operative complications of 92 patients who had undergone eyelid surgeries by one operator using Colorado patients who had undergone eyelid surgeries by one operator using Colorado dissection needle attached to monopolar electrocautery from March to October 1997. there were 49 patients of epiblepharon or entropion, 16 patients of ptosis, 10 patients of dermatochalasis and 17 patients of blepharoplasty. In all 92 patients who had be used with Colorado needle neither complications nor side effects were developed. Therefore, we consider that the colorado needle monopolar electrocautery is an useful instrument in eyelid surgery.
