About Chalazion Incision and Curretage

Chalazion Incision and Curettage is a minor surgical procedure performed by an ophthalmologist to remove a persistent or problematic chalazion, a painless, slow-growing lump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland (meibomian gland). During the procedure, the ophthalmologist administers local anesthesia, makes a small incision on the inner surface of the eyelid, and carefully removes the cyst's contents and surrounding inflammatory tissue using a curette. This outpatient surgery effectively relieves eyelid swelling, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns, and helps restore normal gland function. It is a quick, safe, and definitive treatment for chalazions that do not respond to conservative measures like warm compresses or antibiotic ointments.

Key Highlights

Quick, outpatient procedure typically completed in 15-30 minutes.Provides definitive removal of the cyst and inflammatory material.Minimally invasive with an incision made on the inner eyelid surface for minimal visible scarring.Immediate relief from eyelid swelling, pressure, and cosmetic deformity.High success rate in preventing recurrence at the same site.Restores normal function of the blocked meibomian gland./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Chalazion that persists for more than 4-6 weeks despite conservative treatment (warm compresses, lid hygiene).
Large chalazion causing significant eyelid swelling, discomfort, or blurred vision due to pressure on the cornea.
Cosmetically bothersome lump affecting the patient's appearance.
Recurrent chalazions at the same site.
Chalazion that becomes acutely inflamed or infected (secondary hordeolum).
Suspicion of an alternative diagnosis (e.g., sebaceous gland carcinoma) requiring tissue biopsy.

How to prepare

Comprehensive eye examination by the ophthalmologist to confirm the diagnosis and plan the procedure.
Disclosure of all current medications, especially blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin), which may need to be paused as advised.
Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, as vision may be temporarily blurry.
No need for fasting as only local anesthesia is used.
Removal of eye makeup and contact lenses before the procedure.
Informed consent process discussing the benefits, risks, and alternatives.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding or bruising at the surgical site.
Infection, though rare with proper sterile technique.
Small chance of recurrence of the chalazion.
Minor scarring on the inner eyelid.
Temporary blurring of vision from the ointment used post-procedure.
Rare complications include injury to nearby structures, eyelid notch, or eyelash loss.
Allergic reaction to the local anesthetic or antibiotic ointment.

Recovery & hospital stay

An antibiotic ointment is applied, and the eye may be patched for a few hours.
Mild discomfort, redness, and swelling are common for 1-3 days, managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Apply prescribed antibiotic ointment to the incision site for 5-7 days to prevent infection.
Use cool compresses (not warm) for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling.
Avoid rubbing the eye, strenuous activity, swimming, and eye makeup for at least one week.
Attend a follow-up appointment in 1-2 weeks to ensure proper healing.
Vision typically returns to normal within a day, once the ointment clears.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 5-7 days for routine activities; 2-3 weeks for complete resolution of swelling

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
