Answer 1

A Tarsorrhaphy is the partial or complete suturing together of the upper and lower eyelids.

What is the partial or complete suturing together of the upper and lower eyelids?

• An easy and safe operation called tarsorrhaphy joins some or all of the upper and lower eyelids to partially or completely hide the eye.
• A Tarsorrhaphy is the partial or complete suturing together of the upper and lower eyelids.
• By fostering a more favourable environment for corneal healing, tarsorrhaphies are very helpful in treating nonhealing epithelium abnormalities and other corneal surface diseases.
• Tarsorrhaphies can be total or partial, permanent or temporary, and can be further broken down into tarsorrhaphies with or without sutures for a short period of time, tarsorrhaphies with temporary sutures, tarsorrhaphies with permanent sutures, and more extensive tarsorrhaphies that involve mobilizing skin or tarsal plate flaps.
• A temporary tarsorrhaphy is appropriate when improvement over a few weeks is predicted because it enhances corneal repair during a brief time of illness or exposure.
