Abstract Body:
Purpose: We describe a novel surgical technique using a commercially available bovine collagen graft as a posterior lamellar spacer of the lower eyelid.
Study Design: Case series
Methods: Nineteen patients were included in the study and followed for 6 months.
Results: Success was defined as quantitative improvement of the lower eyelid retraction with asymmetry of 2 mm or less between the lower eyelids. We obtained a success rate of 87%.
Conclusions: Utilisation of a collagen graft instead of other types of grafts (eg hard palate graft) could potentially save intraoperative time and decrease postoperative pain.
