Abstract

The eyes, the saying goes, are the windows of the soul. It's the first thing you notice about a person. Therefore, many people want to possess beautiful eyelids. Surgical formation of a palpebral fold and sulcus divides the lid into two well-defined segments (palpebral and pretarsal), producing the double eyelid desired by many Oriental women as well as an increasing number of man recently. Upper lid blepharoplasty is the Oriental eye is one of the variations of standard upper lid blepharoplasty. In Oriental double eyelid surgery, there have been two approaches to form a superior palpebral fold: the buried suture(nonincision) method and the full external incision method. Conventionally, the nonincision technique has been shown to produce little postoperative edema. However, the probability of the fold disappearing is high, and this technique cannot be performed in patients with fatty eyelids. Conversely, the incision technique has contrary characteristics. Recently, partial incision(or semi-open) technique which is combination of mentioned methods is used, this technique is removal of pretarsal tissue, muscle, and/or orbital fat around 2 or 3 incision site to facilitate tarsus-dermal adhesion. Our method is on the basis of this technique, furthermore, compared with conventional semi-open method, Y(Yang's) needle assisted double eyelid operation is more easy, convenient, saving-time method and provide satisfactory results.

본 방법을 통해 수술할 경우 몇 가지 장점이 있다. Y needle의 경우 5mm간격으로 고안되어 있어 3부위에서 일정량의 조직결찰이 가능하고 고안에 따라 여러 가지 간격으로 만들어 질 수 있어 환자의 상태에 따라 적용가능하다. 또한 피부부위에서 결막으로 들어가는 부위가 수직이어서 원하는바 정확한 이중검 위치를 만들어 줄 수 있다. 초심자가 시행하더라도 관통부위를 eyelash 경계와 비교적 평행하게 만들어 줄 수 있다. Needle의 삽입이 2개가 한꺼번에 삽입되므로 환자가 느끼는 통증이 감소되며 술자의 편의도도 증가하리라 생각된다. 부분절개법을 사용하여 잉여지방 및 조직을 제거하였고 매몰하여 흉터와 부작용을 최소화하였고 회복기간과 수술시간을 감소시킬 수 있었다. 본 방법은 모든 경우의 이중검수술에 이용될 수는 없겠으나 고찰에서 기술한 비절개식이나 부분절개식 이중검수술의 적응증에 해당되는 경우에 이용할 경우 아주 간단하고 임상적으로 표준화 될수 있는 방법으로 응용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되어 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
