Abstract:AIM: To investigate the treatment of lacrimal gland prolapse by fixing lacrimal gland on orbital rim holes of lacrimal fossa.
METHODS: Totally 21 patients(42 eyes)with lacrimal gland prolapse were treated by fixing lacrimal gland on orbital rim holes of lacrimal fossa via double eyelid incision. The patients were followed up for 3-36 months.
RESULTS: Whole group of 21 patients(42 eyes), 19 patients(38 eyes)had marked effect, significant efficiency 90.5%, 2 patients(4 eyes)had effect, efficiency 9.5%, ineffective 0 patient(0 eye). Total effective was 100%.
CONCLUSION: Fixing lacrimal gland on orbital rim holes of lacrimal fossa is one of effective treatment of lacrimal gland prolapse. It realizes the double recovery of appearance and function of the patients.
