R E Wesley, J W Collins

    Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |May 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    The McCord technique effectively repairs ectropion by adjusting the lateral canthal tendon, offering a solution that avoids common complications. This surgical method provides a reliable option for ectropion correction, particularly in specific patient groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oculoplastics

    Background:

    • Ectropion, an outward turning of the eyelid, can cause significant ocular surface issues.
    • Conventional surgical techniques for ectropion repair may lead to complications such as lid notching and trichiasis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the McCord technique for ectropion repair.
    • To assess the complication rates associated with this specific surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • The McCord technique was performed on 85 eyelids in 77 patients.
    • Surgical correction involved resecting the lateral canthal tendon and reattaching the tarsus to the lateral orbital rim.
    • Patients were observed for 6 to 34 months post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • The McCord technique successfully corrected ectropion in the majority of cases.
    • Complications included lid position revision in six patients, lateral canthal granuloma in four, and one late infection.
    • The technique proved beneficial for patients with artificial eyes or post-blepharoplasty ectropion.

    Conclusions:

    • The McCord technique is a viable and effective surgical option for ectropion repair.
    • Its advantages include avoiding lid notching and trichiasis, making it suitable for specific patient populations.
    • Further modifications can address more complex ectropion cases.
