INTRODUCTION: Lower eyelid retraction is a common but challenging complication following blepharoplasty. A wide array of techniques has been described to address this problem including the use of posterior lamellar spacer grafts. No consensus exists on the best available spacer graft material. We performed a systematical review of studies comparing efficacy and complication rates among various ...

PURPOSE To report a new technique in the repair of lower eyelid malposition using dermis fat as a posterior lamellar spacer graft. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive, nonrandomized interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS Eleven patients who underwent surgical correction for symptomatic lower eyelid malposition using dermis fat as a spacer graft. METHODS Patients with symptomatic lower eye...

This prevents graft resorption by inducing vascularization and provides growth factors, it is a two-step procedure. The first step includes an extensive excision of infected and non-viable tissue, it is followed by careful stabilization of the bone and placement of cement spacer in the bone defect .and...

BACKGROUND Lumbar interbody fusion is a common treatment for a variety of spinal pathologies. It has been hypothesized that insufficient mechanical loading of the interbody graft can prevent proper fusion of the joint. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical stability and anterior column loading sharing characteristics of a posterior dynamic system compared to titanium rods in ...

BACKGROUND Internal eyelid spacer graft is routinely placed during lower eyelid retraction surgery, which may be unnecessary. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of lower eyelid retraction surgery without internal graft in select cases. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing reconstructive lower eyelid retraction surgery without internal graft, by one surgeon from 2013 to 201...
