To analysis the effectiveness of lateral tarsal strip for the surgical repair of the marginal malpositions of the lower eyelid. A retrospective, consecutive case series of patients who underwent lateral tarsal strip (LTS) procedure for all types of involutional lower eyelid malposition (entropion and ectropion) and paralytic ectropion, at one tertiary eye centre of Dhaka, Bangladesh, between January 2013 and December 2017. All records were evaluated to determine the indications, management strategies, surgical outcome and postoperative complications. A total of 46 lower eyelids marginal malposition’s of 41 patients were studied in this study and lateral tarsal strip 9LTS) procedure was used to repair the involutional entropion (52%), involutional ectropion (35%), and paralytic ectropion (13%) of the lower eyelid. The male to female ratio was 2:1. The mean age was 61.34 years with 26 years to 85 years age range. The surgical correction was satisfactory in 93.5% cases. Lateral tarsal strip (LTS) procedure achieved statistically significant better anatomical and functional outcomes for the correction of all types of involutional eyelid marginal malposition’s and paralytic ectropion.

Background. Involutional entropion and upper eyelid ptosis are common eyelid diseases in the elderly population. They represent a frequent cause of discomfort and often result in significant visual and functional impairment. The surgical management of these disorders includes various treatment options and techniques and is usually carried out in multiple time sessions. Case Report. We report the case of a 72 year old female patient, suffering from right eye involutional lower eyelid entropion and ptosis, who was treated synchronously for both conditions, by applying the lateral tarsal strip procedure and the levator resection technique. Conclusion. The synchronous treatment of involutional entropion and ptosis is an alternative treatment strategy, which could potentially improve surgical outcome, while reducing postoperative recovery time and treatment costs.

Objective to present a surgical technique for treating patients with recurrent ectropion and severe lower eyelid laxity. Methods Lateral tarsal strip and canthal fixation by osteotomy was performed in 6 patients with recurrent ectropion and 1 patient with extreme lower eyelid laxity secondary to an anophthalmic socket. Preoperative and postoperative photographs were evaluated in order to assess the outcomes of the procedure. Patients were followed up 4 weeks, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months of the postoperative period. The initial symptoms of the patients were eye redness, epiphora, foreign body sensation, aesthetic complaints, and facial asymmetry. Symptoms and aesthetic results were assessed by questioning, photographs, and fluorescein and lissamine green stains taken in each visit. Results No postoperative complications were observed. No recurrence episodes were reported during the follow-up period and physical appearance improvement and symptom severity reduction were maintained during the observation. Conclusion Lateral tarsal strip through osteotomies is an effective surgical procedure for treating severe recurrent ectropion cases or lower eyelid laxity and could be considered as an alternative treatment option or even a primary surgical technique in selected difficult cases.

Horizontal Eyelid Laxity

Ectropion is defined as an eversion of the upper or lower eyelid away from the globe. Classes of ectropion include involutional, cicatricial, paralytic, and mechanical. Ectropic eyelids develop from horizontal eyelid laxity, medial canthal tendon laxity, vertical skin tightness, neuromuscular dysfunction, and lower eyelid retractor disinsertion. Ocular complications associated with ectropic eyelids include corneal exposure and scarring, conjunctivitis, ocular discomfort, photophobia, epiphora, and decreased vision. The entire face and eye should be carefully examined when a patient presents with ectropion. A systemic approach enables the physician to more fully understand the underlying disease process and best therapeutic approach. Ectropion can be quantified by pulling the central portion of the lid anteriorly and measuring the number of millimeters from the anterior cornea to the apex of the eyelid. Ectropion etiology can be elucidated by evaluating for horizontal eyelid laxity, orbicularis dysfunction, vertical skin tightness, and lower eyelid retractors disinsertion. Horizontal eyelid laxity is typically a result of lateral or medial canthal tendon stretching. Laxity of the canthal tendons produces a redundancy in the eyelid tissues, resulting in ectropion, often referred to as an involutional ectropion. Lateral canthal tendon status can be determined by gently pulling the eyelid nasally. The inferior crus of the tendon can then be palpated to evaluate for dehiscence. The medial canthal tendon can be evaluated by pulling laterally and noting the displacement of the inferior punctum. The severity of canthal tendon laxity should be quantified prior to any surgical intervention. 8-2-1 Lateral Canthal Tendon Laxity and the Lateral Tarsal Strip Procedure. Although a variety of methods have been advocated for treatment of lateral canthal tendon laxity, we prefer the lateral tarsal strip, introduced by Anderson. This procedure corrects the underlying anatomic abnormality, does not require reapproximation of the eyelid margin, and is relatively easy to perform. The lateral canthal region is injected with lidocaine 2% mixed with 1:100,000 epinephrine using a 27- or 30-gauge needle. After ensuring appropriate anesthesia, Stevens scissors are used to create a lateral canthotomy and exposure of the lateral orbital rim.

AbstractBackgroundLower blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgeries in the world. However, there are no studies to directly compare patients who had fat excision vs fat transposition.ObjectivesThe authors sought to compare and contrast aesthetic results of fat excisional and fat transpositional lower blepharoplasty.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of 60 patients (120 eyelids) who underwent transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, either with fat excision or fat transposition into a preperiosteal plane. Marginal reflex distance-2, lower eyelid length, nasojugal fold depth, and pretarsal orbicularis definition were measured.ResultsMean follow-up was 5.6 months. Mean marginal reflex distance-2 did not significantly differ after either fat excision or fat transposition. Mean lower lid length decreased after fat excision only (P < 0.001), and postoperative fat excision patients had a shorter lower eyelid length than patients who underwent fat transposition (13.5 ± 2.1 mm vs 16.1 ± 1.9 mm, P < 0.0001). Pretarsal orbicularis definition increased after both surgeries (P < 0.001), and the groups did not differ (1.0 ± 0.8 vs 1.1 ± 0.9, not significant). Mean nasojugal fold depth was effaced after surgery in both groups (P < 0.001), although the nasojugal fold was significantly more effaced after fat transposition (1.5 ± 0.7 vs 0.48 ± 0.6, P < 0.001).ConclusionsIn lower blepharoplasty, fat excision resulted in a shorter lower eyelid, and fat transposition resulted in a more effaced lid-cheek junction. Surgeons should be able to balance both techniques to deliver a customized aesthetic result.Level of Evidence: 3
