Should I perform tarsorrhaphy at the end of the surgery?
For most cases, it is not necessary to do so. However, for severe chemical burn, especially if the lid margin is also involved and if there is a thermal component (e.g., firework injury), it is a good idea to bring the lid margin together with tarsorrhaphy, which will prevent exposure (due to lack of effective blink and closure) and wound contracture to the lid tissue.
