What is A Retrospective Review of Patients Undergoing Lateral Canthoplasty Techniques to Manage Existing or Potential Lower Eyelid Malposition: Identification of Seven Key Preoperative Findings about?

## Background: Lateral canthal procedures are often indicated to correct or prevent lower eyelid malposition. when determining an appropriate lateral canthal procedure, planning is essential and includes proper analysis and identification of any contributory anatomical factors. ## Methods: A 12-month retrospective review was performed on patients undergoing lateral canthal procedures. important components of the preoperative examination were studied to relate patient anatomy and results. outcomes were followed for a minimum of 5 years. ## Results: Of 288 consecutive lower eyelid canthal procedures, a total of 146 met the inclusion criteria. common designated abnormal preoperative findings included a negative vector (62 percent), lid margin eversion (12 percent), scleral show (21 percent), neutral or negative canthal tilt (49 percent and 18 percent, respectively), and lateral canthus -to -orbital rim distance of more than 1 cm (11 percent). the distribution of lateral canthal procedures performed in our study population included inferior retinacular lateral canthopexy (n = 36), inferior retinacular lateral canthoplasty (n = 88), tarsal strip lateral canthoplasty (n = 15), and dermal
