What's the difference between eyelid and tarsorrhaphy?
Eyelid
Definition:
(n.) The cover of the eye; that portion of movable skin with which an animal covers or uncovers the eyeball at pleasure.
Example Sentences:

(7) A simplified procedure is described whereby tissue is removed via a posterior eyelid approach so that the eyelid may be tightened both horizontally and vertically, thus inverting the punctum and fixating it in the lacrimal lake.
(8) Because of the extensive soft-tissue and osseous involvement, all patients required composite resection of the orbit, the ethmoidal sinus, the orbital contents, and the soft tissue of the eyelids, brow, and temporal region.

(12) Double composite grafting is a technique used in the repair of large (greater than 75%) eyelid defects due to tumor resection, trauma, or congenital coloboma.
(13) Some birds were subjected to unilateral eyelid-suture, a protocol which usually induces axial lengthening and corneal bulging.
(14) Several procedures have been developed to restore closure of the paralyzed upper eyelid (implantation of gold weights or open wire springs) or to correct lower lid lagophthalmos and ectropion (lower lid tightening with a Bick procedure or insertion of a closed eyelid spring).
(15) We hypothesize that the lower overnight swelling with the silicone lenses is a result of reduced resistance to oxygen flow from the eyelid capillaries to the corneal epithelial cells possibly due to decreased tear film thickness.
(16) The pinch technique has been found to be useful in repairing cosmetic eyelid deformities.
(17) The administration of these drugs was followed within 2-3 minutes by oedema of the eyelids and epiglottis, reduced peripheral circulation and central cyanosis.
(18) The eyelids not only protect the ocular globe, but also keep it wet and transparent.
(19) There is evidence that these artifacts may be the result of a combination of eyelid electrical activity and resistance effects.
(20) Within 2 months following birth the infants had facial acne and edema, swelling of the eyelids, loss of facial hair including eyelashes, and hyperpigmentation of the skin.
Tarsorrhaphy
Definition:
(n.) An operation to diminish the size of the opening between eyelids when enlarged by surrounding cicatrices.
Example Sentences:
(1) Although tarsorrhaphy has been the mainstay of treatment for lagophthalmus associated with facial paralysis, it has many drawbacks which make it a less than ideal procedure.
(2) When combined with a brow lift and tarsorrhaphy, symmetry of the facial appearance while at rest has also been obtained.
(3) The patient was treated with tarsorrhaphy and ocular lubricants.
(4) A simple and effective method of temporary tarsorrhaphy, which is referred to as intermarginal serpentine temporary tarsorrhaphy, is presented.
(5) Tarsorrhaphy relieves the problem of persistent epithelial defects in neurotrophic keratitis and a variety of other conditions characterized by persistent surface breakdown.
(6) This problem can be successfully managed by a combination of conjunctival fornix sutures to invaginate the prolapsed conjunctiva and temporary suture tarsorrhaphy.
(7) Available methods of therapy range from simple medical means, through soft contact lenses and tarsorrhaphy, to conjunctival flaps and keratoplasty.
(8) The corneal response to a complete tarsorrhaphy was studied in 46 rabbits for time periods up to 21 days.
(9) Exposure and neurotrophic keratopathy may respond to topical lubricants and correction of lid abnormalities but severely affected corneas may require tarsorrhaphy or conjunctival flap to maintain corneal integrity.
(10) Surgical division of the tarsorrhaphy can be performed easily with little, if any, defect of the eyelids.
(11) Beginning in 1986, a lateral canthal suspension consisting of either a lateral tarsal strip or a lateral tarsorrhaphy was added to the scleral implantation ("intermediate" procedure) and was performed in seven patients.
(12) Loss of vision in the left eye due to severe proptosis was reversed by prompt aspiration and tarsorrhaphy.
(13) Satisfactory static reconstruction of the face may be accomplished with the use of a brow lift, tarsorrhaphy, and correction of the paralyzed mouth.
(14) The resulting excellent hemostatic qualities decreased the time, supplies, and ancillary help needed to do the tarsorrhaphy.
(15) Surgical treatments, including punctal occlusion, tarsorrhaphy, conjunctival flaps, contact lenses, superficial keratectomy, as well as parotid duct transposition, are discussed and the procedure indicated which is best suited to the case.
(16) Although no significant difference was observed between any of the drug-treated groups, lateral tarsorrhaphy was associated with a greater than tenfold decrease in the number of colony-forming units (P = .073).
(17) We describe a tarsorrhaphy technique whereby an ipsilateral upper-eyelid tarsal pillar is sutured to a corresponding lower-eyelid recipient site.
(18) The healing rate was decreased with bandage lenses and increased by tarsorrhaphy.
(19) Experiments were designed to: (i) analyse the temporal accumulation of IgA-, IgG- and IgM-containing cells in lacrimal tissue during postnatal development (6-27 days of age); (ii) examine whether prevention of antigenic exposure to the ocular surface by unilateral tarsorrhaphy might inhibit lymphocyte immigration into the ipsilateral gland during development; and (iii) assess whether a non-invasive antigen, after placement on the ocular surface of infant or adult rats, undergoes retrograde transfer to the lacrimal gland.
(20) Only the fornix fixation sutures and the central tarsorrhaphy were employed for the proper placement of graft without the use of retention devices.
