METHOD FOR CORRECTION OF INVOLUTION INVERSION OF LOWER EYELID

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to ophthalmology. Needle-carrier with a first caprolactone filament of length 120 mm with bidirectional convergent notches and a central zone free from insections is pricked in the temporal region perpendicular to the skin surface. Carrier needle is applied in soft tissues of lower eyelid along ciliary edge at 3–4 mm below line of growth of lashes in projection of distal edge of cartilaginous plate of lower eyelid parallel to skin surface and carrier needle is completed by needle piercing from tissues in projection of lachrymal line. Thereafter, the needle is removed from the tissues. Then, the needle-carrier with the second thread is also pricked also in temporal region 5 mm above the previous puncture. Carrier needle is applied in soft tissues of lower eyelid along ciliary edge parallel to skin surface at 2–3 mm above first filament. Carrier needle is completed by puncture from the tissues in a projection of the lachrymal groove. Then the centre parts of threads, which are devoid of notches, are installed in the projection of the lateral angle of the eye fissure. Soft tissues of the infraorbital region are fixed by fixation on the incision of the suture and pulling the suture in the retrograde direction from both sides until the inversion is eliminated and the excess threads are cut off.;EFFECT: method enables minimizing trauma of orbital and eyelid tissues, does not require hospitalization and anaesthesia.;1 cl, 1 ex
