Lateral Tarsal Strip and Quickert Sutures for Lower Eyelid Entropion

Abstract

A combined lateral tarsal strip and Quickert sutures procedure is effective, simple, and addresses all of the factors that contribute to involutional entropion formation, with a good long-term success rate and cosmetic outcome.

Two-paired Mini-incisional Entropion Surgery for Involutional Entropion

“…1,6,8 THe QS can be performed at the bedside or in the office, which takes about 5–10 minutes under local anesthesia; the main limitation of this procedure is its high recurrence rate, which is reportedly 22%–49% during a mean follow period 18–34.5 months. 1,8–12 Our mini-incisional technique may provide a more stable eyelid position postoperatively than the Quickert Suture and in our study showed only a 5.9% recurrence rate and 94.1% cumulative chance of success in an average follow-up period of 28 months with significantly low surgery time ( P < 0.001) (Tables 2 and 3).…”

A 10-min novel technique for involutional entropion: Mini-incisional continuous ligation everting sutures

“…6,9,15 And, in our study, the survival rate was 95.3% at 18 months and 94.1% at 24 months postoperatively. Our overall recurrence rate is comparable with that of combined procedures that address lower eyelid laxity (11.8% vs 0% to 9.4%), 2,5,15,17 and the small difference in recurrence rate is acceptable given the speed and convenience of our technique, patient comfort, the short recovery time, and compatibility with anticoagulation medication.…”

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Everting Sutures with a Lateral Tarsal Strip for Involutional Lower Eyelid Entropion

“…The LTS group showed a recurrence rate of 11.5% at 12 months, higher than the recurrence rate of the combined procedure (ES + LTS) which was 0% at 18 months in the study by Scheepers et al [21] and 9.4% at 24 months in the study by Ho et al [22]. Published data shows that the recurrence rate of the LTS procedure alone varies from 14–22% while López-García et al reported a rate of 4% for a modified LTS technique [23–25].…”
