Repair of the lax medial canthal tendon.
Medial canthal tendon (MCT) laxity is a common condition, usually age related and often causing symptoms of epiphora, discharge, irritation, and redness. MCT repair is more complicated than that of its lateral counterpart because of the intimate relation with the canaliculus (Fig 1). The position and patency of the canaliculus can be affected by any surgery to the canaliculus. Because of the pr...
متن کاملPosterior Medial Canthal Thermoplasty.
PURPOSE To describe a new, simple, quick, and minimally invasive surgical technique for managing medial canthal tendon laxity. METHODS The technique works by creating a directed posterior lamellar scar. Sutures are preplaced in firm medial canthal tissue, and a triangular diathermy burn is made between this fixation point and the medial tarsal plate (sparing the canaliculus). This area is the...
متن کاملMedical canthal resection: an effective long-term cure for medial ectropion.
The results of 37 medial canthal resection procedures performed for the correction of severe paralytic or involutional medial ectropion are presented with an average follow-up of 5.4 years. Epiphora was improved in 33 out of the 37 cases and all but one patient had an anatomically improved lid-globe apposition, medial canthal angle, and posterofixation of the medial canthus. These results confi...
متن کاملManagement of Dermoid Tumor in the Medial Canthal Area
Dermoid tumors in the medial canthal area are rare, but when present they commonly adhere to the lacrimal canaliculi. Three patients presented with a mass in the medial canthal area. The authors performed excisional biopsies, and the masses were diagnosed as dermoid tumors. In two patients, canalicular lacerations were found after mass excision, which suggested that the masses had been firmly a...
متن کاملTriple-flap medial canthal reconstruction.
A patient with a medial facial defect, following oncological resection involving the medial canthus, nose, upper and lower eyelids, and the cheek, is presented.
