Purpose:
Inversing and eversing sutures may be a treatment for inferior eyelid entropion and ectropion, as single treatment or combined with other surgical technique. We propose the use of adjustable sutures for these patients.
Material And Methods:
85 cases were considered. 41 of them were treated with adjustable sutures and the other 44 underwent classical sutures as treatment.
Results:
The 100% of the eyelids treated with adjustable sutures had a successful eyelid surgery. This was observed at the end of the procedure, the fourth day after surgery, and after the sixth month.
Conclusions:
These adjustable sutures provide more patient comfort and a more accurate result than the classical technique at least after six months of follow up.
