Nunery, William R. 1542-8958 Digital Journal of Opthalmology General Medicine http://dx.doi.org/10.5693/djo.01.2016.11.001 <jats:p>PurposeTo report our experience with protractor myectomy in patients with benign essential blepharospasm who did not respond to serial botulinum toxin injection, and to describe intra- and postoperative techniques that limited skin contracture while also providing excellent functional and cosmetic results.&#x0D; MethodsThe medical records of patients with isolated, benign, essential blepharospasm who underwent protractor myectomy from 2005 to 2008 by a single surgeon were reviewed retrospectively. The technique entailed operating on a single eyelid during each procedure, using a complete en bloc resection of all orbicularis tissue, leaving all eyelid skin intact at the time of surgery, and placing the lid under stretch with Frost suture and applying a pressure dressing for 5-7 days.&#x0D; ResultsData from 28 eyelids in 7 patients were included. Average follow-up was 21.5 months (range, 4-76 months). Of the 28 eyelids, 20 (71.4%) showed postoperative resolution of spasm, with no further need for botulinum toxin injections. In the 8 eyelids requiring further injections, the average time to injection after surgery was 194 days (range, 78-323 days), and the average number of injections was 12 (range, 2-23 injections). All but one eyelid had excellent cosmetic results, without signs of contracture; one eyelid developed postoperative skin contracture following premature removal of the Frost suture and pressure dressing because of concerns over increased intraocular pressure.&#x0D; ConclusionsIn our patient cohort, this modified technique resulted in excellent cosmetic and functional results and limited postoperative skin contracture.</jats:p> Surgical approach to limiting skin contracture following protractor myectomy for essential blepharospasm Digital Journal of Ophthalmology
