PHẪU THUẬT TẠO HÌNH GÓC MẮT TRONG BẰNG KỸ THUẬT Y-V: MỘT SỐ CA LÂM SÀNG

Abstract

The epicanthal fold is a common anatomical feature among individuals of Asian descent. This condition may appear in isolation, increasing the distance between the inner corners of the eyes and affecting overall facial balance. In some cases, it may be associated with other ocular abnormalities such as epiblepharon, ptosis, or narrow palpebral fissures, which can impair visual function. The demand for surgical intervention to improve both function and aesthetics has been increasing. Several medial canthoplasty techniques have been proposed and applied clinically, including the Rogman technique, Z-plasty, and the Mustardé method. Among them, the Y-V advancement flap technique is highly regarded for its safety, relative simplicity, low complication rate, and excellent anatomical and cosmetic outcomes in medial canthus reconstruction. As such, it is currently the preferred approach for epicanthoplasty in clinical practice.
