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.

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.

AbstractThere are three pathophysiologies of involutional entropion, vertical laxity (VL), horizontal laxity (HL), and overriding of the preseptal orbicularis. The effects of methods to correct VL only, HL only, or both VL and HL in patients with involutional entropion were compared using the published results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).To find RCT studies that investigated methods to correct involutional entropion, a systematic search was performed from database inception to April 2020 in the Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Two independent researchers conducted the literature selection and data extraction. Evaluation of the quality of the reports was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias (ROB 2.0). The data analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines using Review Manager 5.3.Two RCT studies were included in this meta-analysis. Surgery for involutional entropion was performed on a total of 109 eyes. Everting sutures (ES) were used on 57 eyes and lateral tarsal strips (LTS) or combined procedures (LTS + ES) were performed on 52 eyes. At the end of the follow-up periods, involutional entropion recurred in 18 eyes (31.6%) in the ES group and three eyes (5.8%) in the LTS +/- ES group. Analysis of the risk ratio showed that the LTS +/- ES method significantly lowered the recurrence rate compared to using ES only (P = 0.007).Performing LTS +/- ES effectively lowered the recurrence rate of involutional entropion compared to ES alone. However, some patients cannot tolerate more invasive corrections such as LTS. Therefore, sequential procedures, in which ES is performed first and then when entropion recurs LTS +/- ES is performed, or another methods depending upon the degree of HL may be used.

Objective: Involutional entropion in the lower eyelid is one of the most common eyelid disorders of the elderly. Despite the effectiveness of the widely used surgical procedures, recurrence rates have failed to improve. In this retrospective study, we aimed to assess surgical plans, effectiveness and safety of tailored surgery based on the mechanical balance principal in treating involutional entropion in the lower eyelid. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 47 patients (54 eyelids) diagnosed with involutional entropion in the lower eyelid and receiving tailored surgical treatment based on mechanical balance principle from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 was carried out. Tailored surgical plans were developed according to the mechanical balance analysis of vertical, horizontal and sagittal directions. Results: All 54 eyelids with involutional entropion in the lower eyelid underwent advancement of the lower eyelid retractor (LER) through the conjunctiva. For patients with mild horizontal eyelid laxity, only LER advancement was performed. For moderate and severe horizontal eyelid laxities, combined horizontal reinforcement procedures were performed, including lateral canthopexy, lateral tarsal strip (LTS) surgery and wedge resection. The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) tightening or transposition was performed for OOM overriding. The follow-up time was 1 to 4 years, and there were no cases experiencing recurrence. Thus, the rates of effectiveness and recurrence were 100% and 0%, respectively. Conclusions: This is the first descriptive study on the tailored surgical strategies designed according to the mechanism of mechanical imbalance involved in involutional entropion. Tailored surgery based on the mechanical balance principle is safe and effective with low recurrence.
