Meaning of "tarsorrhaphy" in English

Tarsorrhaphy is a surgical procedure in the field of ophthalmology, where the eyelids are partially sewn together to narrow the opening. This technique is used to protect the cornea in cases where eyelid closure is insufficient, due to conditions such as facial nerve palsy or severe dry eye syndrome. By reducing the exposure of the ocular surface, it can significantly improve eye health and comfort, as well as prevent potential damage or deterioration of the cornea and overall eye function.

Meaning of "tarsorrhaphy" in French

Tarsorrhaphy, referred to as "tarsorrhaphie" in medical French, is a surgical intervention used primarily in ophthalmology to partially sew the eyelids together. This procedure aims to narrow the palpebral fissure to safeguard the cornea, especially when natural eyelid closure is compromised. Conditions like facial nerve paralysis or pronounced dry eye syndrome often necessitate this method to protect the eye and maintain corneal integrity, enhancing the eye's comfort and reducing the risk of further ocular damage.
