[Carcass tarsomargoplasty in involutional (senile) entropion of the lower eyelid]

The authors analyze the literature and their own data on the structure of the lower lid in health and involution and present their version of the development of the lower lid entropion and a method for surgical correction of this abnormality, carcass tarsomargoplasty, developed by them. The gist of this surgical intervention is fortification of the lower eyelid carcass structure by implantation into the depth of the eyelid of dosed shaped plates, molding of the lower eyelid shape, and fixation of the pretarsal portion of the skin (in the lower segment of the eyelid to the tarsal plate). Eleven patients were operated on; functional and cosmetic results were good, as evidenced by a follow-up of 11 months.
