| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of anterior lamellar recession procedure in the management of recurrent upper eyelid entropion. Design: randomized prospective comparative study. Methods: all cases will be operated by anterior lamellar recession or tarsal fracture technique. Main outcome procedure: anatomical success is defined as the lid margin is stored to its normal position and no skin touch the ocular surface. Results: 20 upper eyelids of 20 patients with recurrent upper eyelid entropion are randomly divided into two groups, and will have either anterior lamellar recession surgery (group A) or tarsal fracture and marginal rotation surgery (group B). In group < br />A, anatomical success was achieved in 70 % of cases and 3 cases (30%) had recurrence. Conclusion: this study shows that recurrent upper eyelid entropion can be managed efficiently with anterior lamellar recession technique. | ||
