[PMID: 38025620 PMCID: PMC10653595 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000005408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Background Most current surgical approaches in involutional lower eyelid entropion (ILLE) repair focus upon lower eyelid retractor (LER), mainly through transcutaneous approaches. We have opted to use the transconjunctival approach because of the hidden postoperative scar and the shortest reach to the LER. Here, based on our experience, we present our suggestions and note some of the drawbacks regarding ILLE repair by the transconjunctival approach. Methods Two surgeons performed entropion repair on 14 eyelids in 13 patients. Repairs were performed by a transconjunctival approach, where a part of the conjunctiva was at first incised with a scalpel, and the conjunctiva and LER were then separated at the lower edge of the tarsus with scissors. The anterior and posterior aspects of the LER were peeled off, and the LER was dissected into sheets. The LER was then fixed to the anterior-inferior border of the tarsus, and the conjunctiva was sutured. No postoperative gauze, tape dressings, or even suture removal were required. Results Mean operating time was 32.6 minutes. Recurrence was observed in one of 14 patients at an average of 6.6 months postoperatively. Conclusions We reported our suggestions and drawbacks of the transconjunctival approach for ILLE repair. We recommend sufficiently detaching the anterior-posterior aspects of the LER and fixing the LER to the anterior-inferior border of the tarsus. Drawbacks of this technique include the possibility of an insufficient correction in cases with a positive pinch test and medial traction test. Conversely, no further treatment or maintenance is required postoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Involutional entropion of the lower eyelid is commonly encountered in the elderly population. An ideal surgical method is supposed to address the underlying horizontal and vertical lower lid laxity simultaneously. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of bidirectional tightening of the anterior lamella to correct involutional lower lid entropion. METHODS A prospective, noncomparative interventional case series was conducted from January 2017 to June 2021. Patients with involutional lower eyelid entropion received procedures combining lateral canthus-sparing orbicularis suspension with marginal rotating sutures to tighten the anterior lamella horizontally and vertically. The aesthetic appearance, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 50 patients (56 eyelids) with a mean age of 73.1 ± 10.5 years were included. The mean follow-up period was 23.7 ± 17.1 months. All patients had immediate resolution of entropion and associated ocular symptoms. There were no recurrences or other major postoperative complications. Mild temporary ectropion was observed in 4 patients (4 eyelids) without the need for surgical intervention. CONCLUSION The procedure of bidirectional anterior lamellar tightening restores the tension balance of eyelid margin. It provides a simple, successful, and less invasive option to treat involutional lower eyelid entropion.

Abstract
Lower eyelid entropion is the second most common disease seen after ptosis in oculoplastic outpatients. In this study, we performed percutaneous and transconjunctival shortening of the anterior and posterior layers of the lower eyelid retractor (LER) to treat lower eyelid involutional entropion. This study aimed to examine the recurrence rate and complications of the percutaneous and transconjunctival approaches. This was a retrospective study of procedures conducted from January 2015 to June 2020. The LER shortening was performed for lower eyelid involutional entropion on 103 patients (116 eyelids). From January 2015 to December 2018, LER shortening using the percutaneous approach was implemented; from January 2019 to June 2020, the transconjunctival approach was used to shorten the LER. All patient charts and photographs were retrospectively reviewed. Recurrence occurred in 4 patients (4.3%) in the percutaneous approach. No recurrence was observed in any patient in the transconjunctival approach. Temporary ectropion occurred in 6 patients (7.6%) when the percutaneous approach was used; all cases healed within 3 months after surgery. The study did not reveal any statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between the percutaneous and transconjunctival approaches. We achieved results equal to or better than percutaneous LER shortening by combining transconjunctival LER shortening with horizontal laxity shortening, such as lateral tarsal strip, pentagonal resection, and orbicularis oculi muscle resection. However, it is necessary to be careful about temporary ectropion after surgery when percutaneous LER shortening alone is performed for lower eyelid entropion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was the comparison of two different approaches to re-insert the inferior eyelid retractors within addition to lateral tarsal strip at lower eyelid involutional entropion (LEIE) surgical correction. METHOD This multicentric retrospective case series involved 233 consecutive patients (195 eyelids) who underwent LEIE repair. All the lids had a lateral tarsal strip (LTS) in addition to the reinsertion of retractors onto the tarsal plate via the anterior approach (group 1) or the posterior approach (group 2). The desired normal position of the eyelids at 6-month follow-up was considered 'surgical successes, while entropion recurrence and overcorrection (ectropion) were considered 'surgical failures'. RESULTS One-hundred ninety-one (82%) surgeries were included in group 1 and 42 (18%) in group 2. The success rate was 92.1% (176 lids) in group 1 and 85.7% (36 lids) in group 2 (p = 0.188). The recurrence rate was statistically higher for group 2 (14.3%) than for group 1 (3.7%) (p = 0.016). Overcorrection only described in group 1 (3.1%). Both groups had a similar complication rate (p = 0.268), with trichiasis being the most frequent (14, 6%). Ten eyelids (47.6%) from the 21 overall failures were satisfactorily reoperated, and the remaining ones were treated conservatively. CONCLUSION The anterior or posterior approach to reinsert lower eyelid retractors to tarsal plate in addition to LTS to correct LEIE can provide a similar outcome. However, the anterior approach achieves a slightly higher success rate with fewer recurrences but with a higher overcorrection rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate a modified technique for involutional entropion correction in a retrospective cohort study. METHODS The patients with involutional entropion eyelid were corrected by tightening the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle and excising the excess skin of the lower eyelid. The patients received correction surgery from April 2013 to March 2019 were followed up for more than 6 months postoperatively. The outcome measures included the complications and the recurrence rates. RESULTS Total 152 patients (169 eyes) were included. The mean follow-up period was 29.6 months (range: 6-36 months). Postoperative ectropion (over-correction) was observed in 1 patient with 1 eyelid (0.59%); yet, no further surgery was needed for this patient. Recurrence of entropion was found in 1 patient (0.59%). The patient with recurrent entropion received repeated surgery with the same method and achieved a good eyelid position. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that tightening the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle and excising the excess skin of the lower eyelid could be an effective surgical method to correct lower eyelid involutional entropion. This method is technically easy with a low recurrence rate and not associated with significant complications in Asians.

Abstract
Evaluation of the surgical outcome and the patient satisfaction between the modified Wies technique and the Jones retractor plication technique for involutional lower eyelid entropion without horizontal eyelid laxity. Patients who underwent the modified Wies technique (group 1) and the Jones retractor plication technique (group 2) for correction of involutional lower eyelid entropion without horizontal eyelid laxity between January 2014 and January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with horizontal eyelid laxity; cicatricial, congenital or iatrogenic entropion; and less than 6 months of follow-up time were excluded. The main outcome measures were the recurrence rate, correct anatomical position of the eyelid, symptom relief, and postoperative complications for both groups. 37 patients (41 eyes) in Group 1 and 34 patients (34 eyes) in Group 2 were enrolled in the study. Mean age ± SD was 75.6 ± 8.5 years in Group 1 and 73.4 ± 7.9 years in Group 2 (p:0.255). The mean follow-up time (range) was 24.3 (6-80) months in group 1 and 25.3 (6-78) months in group 2 (p:0.818). Two patients in Group 1 and seven patients in Group 2 had a recurrence during the follow-up period (p:0.07). Based on the results of the study, it seems that the modified Wies technique may be a good alternative in suitable patients, as it has satisfactory surgical results.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the corneal morphology before and after surgery by the advancement of posterior lower eyelid retractors (LERs) alone or in combination with a lateral tarsal strip (LTS) for lower eyelid involutional entropion.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 24 consecutive elderly patients (24 eyelids) who underwent posterior layer advancement of LERs alone or in combination with an LTS for involutional entropion. All patients underwent general ophthalmological examinations including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus examination, and slit lamp microscopy. The degree of corneal damage was evaluated using the area (A) and density (D) classification of corneal fluorescein staining. Corneal topography was measured using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). The parameters were steep keratometry (Ks), flat keratometry (Kf), average keratometry (AveK), cylindrical power (CYL), central corneal thickness (CCT), and total higher-order aberrations (HOAs) within a 4-mm diameter.Results: There was no significant difference in the Ks, Kf, AveK, CYL or CCT values between before and after surgery. The HOAs were significantly decreased after surgery. In the AD classification, both the A and D values were significantly decreased after surgery. Significant correlations were observed between preoperative mean HOAs and the mean of A classification, and between preoperative mean HOAs and the mean of D classification.Conclusion: Involutional entropion does not appear to significantly affect corneal morphology before or after posterior LER advancement alone or in combination with an LTS. However, this surgery is thought to result in an improvement of corneal disorders and consequent improvement of HOAs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Involutional entropion in the lower eyelid is one of the most common eyelid disorders of the elderly. Despite the effectiveness of the widely used surgical procedures, recurrence rates have failed to improve. In this retrospective study, we aimed to assess surgical plans, effectiveness and safety of tailored surgery based on the mechanical balance principal in treating involutional entropion in the lower eyelid. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 47 patients (54 eyelids) diagnosed with involutional entropion in the lower eyelid and receiving tailored surgical treatment based on mechanical balance principle from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 was carried out. Tailored surgical plans were developed according to the mechanical balance analysis of vertical, horizontal and sagittal directions. RESULTS All 54 eyelids with involutional entropion in the lower eyelid underwent advancement of the lower eyelid retractor (LER) through the conjunctiva. For patients with mild horizontal eyelid laxity, only LER advancement was performed. For moderate and severe horizontal eyelid laxities, combined horizontal reinforcement procedures were performed, including lateral canthopexy, lateral tarsal strip (LTS) surgery and wedge resection. The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) tightening or transposition was performed for OOM overriding. The follow-up time was 1 to 4 years, and there were no cases experiencing recurrence. Thus, the rates of effectiveness and recurrence were 100% and 0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is the first descriptive study on the tailored surgical strategies designed according to the mechanism of mechanical imbalance involved in involutional entropion. Tailored surgery based on the mechanical balance principle is safe and effective with low recurrence.

Abstract
Background This study evaluated the outcomes of a new modified Wies technique for patients with involutional lower eyelid entropion without horizontal eyelid laxity. Methods This case series retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with entropion who underwent surgery between January 2014 and March 2019 by the same experienced surgeon. Horizontal eyelid laxity, lower eyelid retractor function, and orbicularis muscle overriding were recorded before and after surgery. The recurrence rate and complications were also evaluated. This technique consisted of modified everting sutures combined with reattachment of the lower eyelid retractors to the inferior tarsal plate. Results This new technique was performed on 28 eyes in 25 patients (mean age, 71.0±8.0 years; range, 56–87 years). Nine patients (36%) were women and 16 (64%) were men. Lower lid entropion was present in the right eye in 14 patients (56%), the left eye in eight patients (32%), and both eyes in three patients (12%). The mean follow-up period was 27.3±12.4 months (range, 6–60 months). No intraoperative complications were observed. All patients’ symptoms were alleviated. One patient (3.6%) had recurrence after 2 years (success rate, 96.4%). The remaining 27 eyes maintained a satisfactory and comfortable eyelid position. No patients had problems with scarring. Conclusions The approach described herein proved to be safe and feasible in eyes with involutional lower eyelid entropion without horizontal eyelid laxity. These advantages of this procedure include the lack of a conjunctival scar, punctal eversion, and lateral canthal angle deformation. A low recurrence rate and a long interval to recurrence were also observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the recurrence rate of involutional entropion in patients treated with a combined approach including a modified Bick procedure, excision of preseptal orbicularis muscle, and conservative resection of prolapsed orbital fat. METHODS A retrospective chart review of patients undergoing repair of involutional entropion with the combined procedure including orbital fat resection and a second group with standard entropion repair without orbital fat resection was performed. Only patients with follow-up greater than 6 months were included in the study. RESULTS Seventy eyelids of 54 patients met all inclusion criteria for the combined procedure group over a 9-year period from 2008 to 2016. Average follow-up was 46.9 months. There was a documented recurrence of entropion in 1 eyelid during the follow-up period (1.4%). The remaining 69 cases had successful subjective and objective results without need for any additional procedures. In the group undergoing entropion repair without fat resection, 22 eyelids of 19 patients had the required follow-up period with a recurrence rate of 4.5% (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The authors demonstrate good surgical success with a combined approach of a modified Bick procedure, preseptal orbicularis excision, and conservative orbital fat resection. Conservative fat resection during entropion repair was found to be safe, and the combined procedure was found to be effective with a rate of recurrent entropion of 1.4% on extended follow-up.The authors propose that orbital fat prolapse contributes to the mechanics of involutional entropion and that conservative orbital fat resection during surgical repair of entropion can be done safely, resulting in low recurrence rates.

This is a retrospective, noncomparative analysis of a case series to explore the safety and effectiveness of retrograde canaliculotomy and punctoplasty for treating epiphora due to upper and lower lacrimal punctal occlusion. During the procedure, the horizontal portion of the normal lower canaliculus was identified; the corresponding punctum was reconstructed via retrograde canaliculotomy and punctoplasty. Intubation was performed to prevent postoperative reocclusion. Patients were followed up for 12 to 24mo. A total of 16 patients with unilateral upper and lower lacrimal punctal occlusion were included. Satisfactory outcomes were achieved: all 16 patients exhibited improvement of epiphora; 31 rebuilt punctal openings and canaliculi achieved recanalization. Only one upper punctal opening could not be reconstructed because the corresponding canaliculus exhibited severe injury. No significant complications occurred as a result of the treatments. Retrograde canaliculotomy and punctoplasty appears to effective, safe, and minimally invasive for treatment of upper and lower punctal occlusion.

Abstract
Purpose: To present five cases of lower eyelid cicatricial entropion secondary to ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) successfully repaired with a conjunctival-sparing surgical technique.Methods: The records of one surgeon (SKF) were reviewed to identify patients with lower eyelid cicatricial entropion secondary to OCP who underwent repair with a conjunctival-sparing technique between September 1, 2016 and October 18, 2017. The medical records were reviewed and extracted data included: age, gender, past medical history, current medical and OCP status, clinical examination, details of entropion repair surgery, and outcome.Results: Five patients (three female, two male) were included with ages ranging from 44 to 93 years. All had biopsy proven OCP, which was in remission at the time of surgery, and all were currently receiving immunomodulatory medications. All patients were symptomatic from cicatricial entropion secondary to OCP and underwent successful lower eyelid entropion repair with a conjunctival-sparing technique described herein, involving infraciliary rotation with suture fixation of the orbicularis muscle to the tarsus. Other contributing mechanisms of eyelid malposition including horizontal eyelid laxity and orbicularis oculi override were addressed simultaneously with lateral tarsal plication or orbicularis muscle debulking, resulting in 100% anatomic success and relief of symptoms with no cases of OCP reactivation, and with good durability with an average 13.9 months follow up (range 6.5-22 months).Conclusions: Successful repair of lower eyelid cicatricial entropion in immunomodulated patients with OCP can be achieved without disease reactivation using a surgical technique that spares the conjunctiva and lower eyelid retractors.

Abstract
The study aims to report the surgical outcome of a retractor redirection procedure for involutional entropion repair for Asians. The study included all cases diagnosed with involutional entropion and significant ocular irritation who presented from 2008 to 2012. Sixty-seven eyelids in 54 patients were included in this study. All cases were operated on by one surgeon and had a minimum of 12-months follow-up. Success was defined as cases showing no recurrence of entropion with forceful eyelid squeezing postoperatively. A retrospective chart review was performed to assess the success rate, recurrences and complications of the procedure. During a mean follow-up period of 26.2 months (range, 12-53 months), 5 patients died during the study period. Two eyelids (3%) of one patient had a recurrence at 34 months postoperatively. One eyelid (1.5%) with a significant horizontal laxity developed postoperative ectropion and required a secondary horizontal shortening procedure. No other postoperative complications or dissatisfaction were reported. The retractor redirection procedure aims to repair the retractors and prevent orbicularis muscle overriding via inserting the retractors to the anterior lamellae. It yields a long-term success rate of 95.5% and is an effective technique for correcting involutional entropion.
