The patients were followed-up for a period of 3 months. Palpebral aperture in primary gaze and during eye closure were assessed both pre- and postoperatively along with problems associated with lagophthalmos like exposure keratopathy and lacrimation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n \n Paired\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test was applied to measure the statistical outcome.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Eight patients achieved full correction of lagophthalmos with no lid gap on closing the eye. The mean (standard deviation (SD)) lid gap on eye closure was 7.7 (0.86) mm preoperatively, 0.5 (0.47) mm at 1\n st<\/jats:sup>\n postoperative day, and 0.7 (0.75) mm at 3\n rd<\/jats:sup>\n month. There was a reduction in mean lid gap on eye closure of 7 mm at 3 months (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001) which is highly significant. The mean (SD) vertical interpalpebral distance during primary gaze was 12.05 (1.12) mm preoperatively, 10 (0.94) mm at 1\n st<\/jats:sup>\n postoperative day, and 10.35 (1.08) mm at 3\n rd<\/jats:sup>\n month. There was a reduction in mean vertical inter palpebral distance of 1.7 mm at 3 months (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001) which is significant. Exposure keratitis decreased in five out of six patients at 3 months.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Modified TMT by silicone sling is a useful procedure with lesser morbidity and good outcomes for the treatment of paralytic lagophthalmos due to long standing facial palsy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0301-4738.128629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,11]],"date-time":"2014-03-11T05:21:17Z","timestamp":1394515277000},"page":"176-179","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Modified silicone sling assisted temporalis muscle transfer in the management of lagophthalmos"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Ramesh C","family":"Gupta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raj NS","family":"Kushwaha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ina","family":"Budhiraja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priyanka","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parul","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"553","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.329.7465.553","article-title":"Recent developments in Bell's palsy","volume":"329","author":"Holland","year":"2004","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"R2-20251008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1323","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp041120","article-title":"Clinical practice.
