Brief Summary:
Patients were randomly allocated to the lower eyelid massage experimental or standard care control groups The massage group received post-operative instructions Data on demographics injury profiles lower eyelid scar contracture graded by GLESCO criteria eyelid malpositioning comfort scores and complications were gathered over a 6-month follow-up
Detailed Description:
The massage technique was executed with the patient in a fully open-eyed state maintaining an upward gaze The lateral aspect of the distal phalanx of the index finger was employed exerting pressure on the lower eyelid to bring its margin into contact with the upper eyelid margin for a duration of 10 seconds per repetition This procedure comprises 10 repetitions per set administered once hourly spanning 10 hours daily The massage instruction was provided either by the authors or plastic surgery residents
Facial fracture surgeries were conducted by experienced plastic surgeons andor proficient 4th and 5th year plastic surgery residents at Chiang Mai University Hospital utilizing the skin-muscle flap subciliary approach All patients underwent surgery one week after injury to mitigate soft tissue swelling which had subsided by that time
Consistent pre-operative peri-operative and post-operative care protocols were administered to both patient groups Stitches at the subciliary incision site were extracted on post-operative day 5 Patients in the massage group were instructed to commence lower eyelid massage on the day when stitches were removed
The follow-up assessments were occurred at 1-week 3-week 6-week 3-month and 6-month intervals post-operatively Evaluation criteria include the Grading of Lower Eyelid Scar Contracture GLESCO Additionally grading of lower eyelid malpositioning comfort scores rate on a scale of 0-10 adapted from POSAS and Verbal Rating Scale wound infection dehiscence eyelid comfort and management related to the subciliary incision will be assessed and documented by the plastic surgeon author and plastic surgery resident
