METHOD FOR PREVENTING RADIAL PALPEBRAL LESIONS AT PROTONOTHERAPY OF MALIGNANT ORBITAL TUMORS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61F9/07 A61N5/10 

FIELD: medicine, ophthalmology.

SUBSTANCE: before the onset of protonotherapy one should surgically withdraw eyelids beyond bony orbital borders for the purpose of complete prevention of complications associated with blepharoirradiation at conducting protonotherapy and creating conditions for the next valuable prosthetics. Thus, after external canthotomy one should make two through vertical incisions of the upper eyelid up to bony orbital border at developing a P-shaped fragment of the upper eyelid, moreover, internal incision should be made about 2-3 mm laterally against the upper lacrimal point, and external one - against internal edge of canthotomic incision. Then one should apply per one P-shaped suture onto both external and internal angles of the fragment, moreover, it is necessary to puncture in needles from cutaneous side of the fragment by applying ligatures in palpebral thickness at capturing a cartilage and perform punctures out into intramarginal space. Similarly, one should apply a single similar P-shaped suture onto the lower eyelid in area of its middle part. The ends of P-shaped sutures should be fixed without tightening frontal and buccal skin, correspondingly. Before carrying out the seance of protonotherapy it is necessary to tighten sutures till eyelids come beyond bony orbital borders, and on finishing the seance of protonotherapy sutures should be weakened till the moment of palpebral juncture.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of prophylaxis.
