    Summary

    Lower eyelid entropion repair is effective using a combined surgical approach. Reattaching the capsulopalpebral fascia with horizontal eyelid tightening prevents entropion recurrence.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oculoplastics

    Background:

    • Lower eyelid entropion is a common condition causing eyelid inversion.
    • Identifying the specific anatomical cause, such as capsulopalpebral fascia disinsertion, is crucial for effective surgical correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a combined surgical technique for correcting lower eyelid entropion.
    • To assess the long-term recurrence rates of entropion after this specific repair.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical correction of lower eyelid entropion in 26 eyelids across 21 patients.
    • Repair involved reattaching the capsulopalpebral fascia to the inferior tarsus.
    • A horizontal eyelid tightening procedure at the lateral canthus was performed concurrently.

    Main Results:

    • All patients exhibited capsulopalpebral fascia disinsertion as the primary cause.
    • No cases of entropion recurrence were observed during a 6- to 32-month follow-up period.
    • The combined procedure demonstrated successful long-term outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined surgical approach of horizontal eyelid tightening and capsulopalpebral fascia repair is highly effective for lower eyelid entropion.
    • This technique offers durable, long-term results, significantly reducing recurrence rates.
