    Summary

    This study presents a surgical technique for senile entropion, an age-related lower eyelid condition. The combined approach minimizes recurrence by addressing skin laxity and muscle positioning.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Senile entropion is a common age-related lower eyelid malposition.
    • Current surgical methods aim to increase tarsal tension but have limitations, including recurrence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical procedure for senile entropion with a low recurrence rate.
    • To detail a combined surgical approach addressing skin and muscle components of the lower eyelid.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical technique combining horizontal skin and orbicularis muscle shortening.
    • Specific positioning of orbicularis muscle "straps" to prevent superior migration onto the tarsus.

    Main Results:

    • The presented combined surgical technique demonstrated a reduced rate of recurrence compared to existing methods.
    • Detailed illustrations and clinical photographs document the procedure and outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The described surgical approach offers an effective solution for senile entropion.
    • This technique's comprehensive management of lower eyelid laxity contributes to its low recurrence rate.
