Abstract

Aim: The use of upper eyelid lipofilling to prevent ocular complications in patients affected by facial nerve palsy is compared to other treatment options.

Case presentation: Ten patients treated with lipofilling of the upper eyelid, who were indicated for facial rehabilitation were identified from the Maxillo-facial Surgery Unit, Policlinico Umberto I. For all patients, fat harvested from the abdomen was processed with soft and short centrifugation.

Results: Satisfactory aesthetical and functional results were obtained in most cases. All patients reported a considerable reduction in the use of artificial tear drops and ointment for corneal lubrication. A second procedure was needed in one case to refill the eyelid, and in another one to correct poor aesthetical results. No patients developed postoperative ocular surface disorders.

Conclusions: The lipofilling of the upper eyelid procedure was easy to perform, leading to minimal complications rate. Given the small sample size and variability of samples collected in the current study, future studies involving larger cohorts are required to validate the efficacy of upper eyelid lipofilling in comparison to other treatments.

面神经麻痹患者上眼睑的脂肪填充。
目的:比较面神经麻痹患者采用上睑充脂术预防眼部并发症的疗效。病例介绍:10例上睑充脂患者,均为上颌-面部外科科室,Policlinico Umberto i。所有患者均采用软短离心处理腹部脂肪。结果:大多数病例均获得满意的美观和功能效果。所有患者都报告使用人工泪液和角膜润滑药膏的次数显著减少。在一个病例中需要进行第二次手术来填充眼睑,在另一个病例中需要纠正不良的美学效果。术后无患者出现眼表疾病。结论:上睑充脂术操作简单,并发症发生率低。鉴于当前研究中收集的样本样本量小且具有可变性,未来需要涉及更大队列的研究来验证上眼睑充脂与其他治疗相比的有效性。

期刊介绍: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia is a bimonthly journal and covers all aspects of surgery:elective, emergency and experimental surgery, as well as problems involving technology, teaching, organization and forensic medicine. The articles are published in Italian or English, though English is preferred because it facilitates the international diffusion of the journal (v.Guidelines for Authors and Norme per gli Autori). The articles published are divided into three main sections:editorials, original articles, and case reports and innovations.
