Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of anterior lamellar recession procedure in the managementof recurrent upper eyelid entropion. Design: randomized prospective comparative study. Methods:all cases will be operated by anterior lamellar recession or tarsal fracture technique. Main outcomeprocedure: anatomical success is defined as the lid margin is stored to its normal position andno skin touch the ocular surface. Results: 20 upper eyelids of 20 patients with recurrent uppereyelid entropion are randomly divided into two groups, and will have either anterior lamellarrecession surgery (group A) or tarsal fracture and marginal rotation surgery (group B). In group 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 efficientlywith anterior lamellar recession technique.
