title: The "leicester lasso" lateral canthoplasty.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an innovative technique of lateral canthal tendon (LCT) anchoring to the lateral orbital rim on its inner aspect using a "lasso" technique, in order to provide the ideal vector.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective case review of seven patients (n = 7), performed from 2009 to 2013 at our institution by the senior author (RGS).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Excellent results in all cases with optimal restoration of form and function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The 'Leicester Lasso' technique is a safer technique of securing the LCT to the orbital rim.
