ABSTRACT
@#In patients with lagophthalmos due to eyelid trauma, it is imperative to ensure adequate closure of the eye to protect the ocular surface. Sometimes it is difficult to surgically close eyelids by conventional methods of tarsorrhaphy, such as intermarginal suture tarsorrhaphy, Week’s tarsorrhaphy, and tongue-in-groove tarsorrhaphy. We need intact eyelid tissues to perform these procedures and might not be possible in patients with severe lagophthalmos due to lost/damaged eyelid tissues either due to deficient length of tissues or increased tension at the wound site, which can result in surgical failure.
