Senile Entropion

Lateral Tarsal Strip and Quickert Sutures for Lower Eyelid Entropion

“…Various surgical techniques have been used to address these factors. Several procedures have been described to tighten the lower eyelid horizontally, 13,14 either by LTS procedure, 12 full-thickness partial eyelid resection, 4,9,[15][16][17][18][19] or tightening the inferior crus of the lateral canthal tendon. 20 In most cases, the lower eyelid laxity is at the lateral canthal tendon, which produces the rounding of the lateral canthal angle and narrowing of the palpebral aperture.…”

“…Other studies recruited subjects as early as 3 months after surgery. 9 Because entropion is a progressive condition, it would be unrealistic to expect complete cure, and recurrence rates are likely to be related to length of follow-up, as our study suggests.…”

“…There are a few factors to explain the slightly higher recurrence rates compared with previous reports. 1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]16,24 First, none of the previous studies brought patients back for clinical review. In our study, only 3 of the 5 patients with recurrence volunteered to seek medical attention; the other 2 were asymptomatic.…”

“…[5][6][7][8] One example is the lateral tarsal strip (LTS) procedure combined with Quickert everting sutures. In the few studies of the outcomes of this procedure, however, the duration of follow-up ranged from 3 months to 78 months, 9,10 and there was no objective clinical assessment. Patients reported their outcomes by mail or telephone.…”

Treatment of Senile Entropion: A Comparison of Standard and Modified Surgical Technique

“…8 Management of senile entropion is directed towards the prevention of these adverse sequelae from occurring. Several methods have been utilized for the treatment of senile entropion [9][10][11] but this study compared the standard Weis surgical procedure with a modified surgical approach using an external tamponade for the rectification of senile lower lid entropion.…”
