“…This may be why perfect success has not yet been achieved. However, definite advancement and fixation of the posterior layer of the LER is a more reliable technique with a lower recurrence rate,12 and this is a reason for a lack of recurrence in Groups B and C in the present study.…”

“…Conversely, patients with horizontal laxity who had simple posterior layer advancement of the LER (Group A) demonstrated a lower success rate (91.3%) in comparison with the other two groups. Recurrence was shown in a patient simply with lateral canthal laxity, which generally occurs before medial canthal laxity 12 15. The combination surgery is, therefore, recommended for involutional lower eyelid entropion patients with a positive medial distraction test.…”

“…As medial canthal laxity occurs after lateral canthal laxity,12 15 the horizontal lower eyelid tension may be preserved to a certain extent until occurrence of medial canthal laxity.…”

“…However, mixed patients with or without horizontal laxity were included in our original study 10. Based on the fact that entropion occasionally manifests without horizontal eyelid laxity,12 15 this technique is assumed to prevent recurrence more securely only in patients without horizontal laxity. Conversely, a lower recurrence rate is speculated after combination surgery with horizontal tightening in patients with horizontal laxity.…”

“…Lateral canthal laxity is a common degenerative change in elderly. But some reports 5,9,19,20 have failed to demonstrate significant differences of horizontal laxity between entropion eyes and non-entropion eyes. In our study, we cannot conclude the relationship of horizontal laxity and recurrences because the only one recurrent patient does not have a lower eyelid laxity.…”

The study aims to report the surgical outcome of a retractor redirection procedure for involutional entropion repair for Asians. The study included all cases diagnosed with involutional entropion and significant ocular irritation who presented from 2008 to 2012. Sixty-seven eyelids in 54 patients were included in this study. All cases were operated on by one surgeon and had a minimum of 12-months follow-up. Success was defined as cases showing no recurrence of entropion with forceful eyelid squeezing postoperatively. A retrospective chart review was performed to assess the success rate, recurrences and complications of the procedure. During a mean follow-up period of 26.2 months (range, 12-53 months), 5 patients died during the study period. Two eyelids (3%) of one patient had a recurrence at 34 months postoperatively. One eyelid (1.5%) with a significant horizontal laxity developed postoperative ectropion and required a secondary horizontal shortening procedure. No other postoperative complications or dissatisfaction were reported. The retractor redirection procedure aims to repair the retractors and prevent orbicularis muscle overriding via inserting the retractors to the anterior lamellae. It yields a long-term success rate of 95.5% and is an effective technique for correcting involutional entropion.
