title: [Modification of transnasal medial canthopexy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the curative effect of transnasal medial canthopexy.
  
  
  METHODS
  By a coronal or medial canthal incision, we applied transnasal medial canthopexy to repair medial canthal detachment. A total of 78 patients received the operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of them, 64 patients obtained satisfactory postoperative appearance with one operation; 6 patients obtained satisfactory results with two operations. The operation was unsuccessful in 8 patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method is one of the ideal methods of repairing medial canthal detachment, however its indications should be observed.
