Lid Repair
Lid repair is a surgical procedure performed to treat eyelid injuries, including lacerations, tears, or other trauma to the eyelids. The goal of the procedure is to restore the function and appearance of the eyelid, ensuring proper closure, preventing infection, and maintaining eye protection. Eyelid injuries can occur due to accidents, burns, or surgical procedures and, if left untreated, may result in complications such as improper blinking, exposure of the eye, or scarring.
At Desai Eye Institute, lid repair is usually performed under local anaesthesia, though general anaesthesia may be used for more extensive or complex injuries. The surgeon carefully sutures the eyelid tissue to ensure proper alignment and closure, addressing any damage to the surrounding structures, such as the tear ducts or the eyelid margin.
Medical Equipment Needed for Lid Repair:
- Surgical Microscope (for magnification and precision during the procedure)
- Microsurgical Scissors and Forceps (for fine tissue manipulation and suturing)
- Sterile Sutures (for closing the eyelid laceration)
- Sterile Gloves (for maintaining hygiene and preventing infection)
- Ocular Speculum (to hold the eyelids open during surgery)
- Topical Anesthetic Drops (to numb the area around the eyelid for comfort)
- Sterile Drapes (to maintain a sterile field)
- Disinfectants (to sterilize the surgical area and instruments)
- Tear Duct Probes (if the tear duct is involved in the injury)
- Post-Operative Eye Shield (to protect the repaired eyelid during healing)
