Overview

Retrospective case series demonstrates effective reconstruction of lower eyelid canthal ligaments using barbed sutures, suggesting good outcomes without complications.

Key Points

  • Evaluate a novel technique for lower eyelid canthal ligament reconstruction using barbed sutures.
  • Retrospective case series at a single institution
  • Included patients requiring lower eyelid canthal ligament reconstruction
  • Measured margin reflex distance 2 preoperatively and at follow-up
  • Seven patients underwent the procedure with maintained eyelid position
  • No recurrence of ectropion or entropion during follow-up
  • Transient postoperative diplopia resolved with conservative management
