The lateral pull lower lid blepharoplasty with steri-strip closure has proved to be a safe, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing procedure. This technique offers multiple benefits, including decreased operating time, simplified the surgical procedure, and decreased postoperative morbidity. Preoperative marking and evaluation of lower lid laxity has been eliminated. Precision tailoring of the skin muscle flap decreases the risk of ectropion or scleral show. Appropriate muscle excision improves the contour of the lower eyelid, particularly in the area of the incision, and relieves tension from the lateral pull. The steri-strip closure decreases operating time, eliminates the usual problems associated with conventional suture, and may decrease the risk of orbital hematoma. We have used this steri-strip lower lid blepharoplasty procedure in 397 patients seen over the previous 38 months and found it to be an effective and safe blepharoplasty technique. We have had no permanent complications and have had excellent cosmetic results with this procedure.

Blindness is one of the major complications that can occur during and after Intranasal ethmoidectomy. Two mechanisms for blindness are apparent: (1) direct injury to the optic nerve and (2) retrobulbar (orbital) hematoma, which incresaes orbital pressure and compromises vascular supply and drainage to and from the eye. While several publications have discussed the management of blindness from a delayed operative vantage point, no publication has discussed the immediate management of blindness from intraoperative or immediate postoperative occurrence, stressing specific medical and surgical treatment. A review of the literature and the author's personal experience will be used as a basis to discuss the prevention and management of blindness during endoscopic Intranasal ethmoidectomy. Case studies will be used to Illustrate methods for prevention and management of blindness. If treated aggressively, blindness associated with retrobulbar hematoma can be reversed medically.

Complications of endoscopic and classic intranasal sinus surgery have been documented by case reports and large retrospective reviews. The most serious complications have involved violation of the intracranial space or orbit. Hemorrhage has also proven to be a significant cause of morbidity, either of itself, or by limiting visualization and thus contributing to other injuries. Although numerous studies have been performed to determine various anatomic relationships, relatively few have addressed relationships that use practical reference points easily accessible to the endoscopic or intranasal sinus surgeon. In an effort to reduce the risk of complications such as blindness, orbital hematoma, and injury to the lacrimal sac or central nervous system, we have performed 50 cadaver dissections and measured 7 anatomic landmarks that may aid the surgeon in preventing these complications. We have also included a review of the literature concerning the complications of endoscopic and intranasal sinus surgery addressed herein.

We present a case in which the superior vena cava (SVC) cannula was inadvertently clamped for a short while during cardiopulmonary bypass, completely occluding SVC drainage. This resulted in a rarely seen complication – bilateral subperiosteal orbital hematomas causing orbital compartment syndrome. Other instances of intentional SVC occlusion include during the creation of a bidirectional cavo-pulmonary shunt and for emergency control of bleeding during thoracic surgery.
