Abstract
Purpose
To modify the traditional surgical approach to treat patients diagnosed with congenital lower eyelid entropion using inferior eyelid margin fixation of the orbicularis eyelid muscle.
Methods
Ninety-six participants (180 eyes) with congenital lower eyelid entropion diagnosed between January 2019 and April 2021 were included in this study. The patients were divided into Group A (cutaneous orbicularis oculi excision treatment) and Group B (inferior eyelid margin fixation treatment). The efficiency and recurrence rate of treatments were used to compare the two treatments.
Results
There was no significant difference in age, sex, and eyes distribution in both groups. And higher efficiency rate was found in Group B (P < 0.05). And Group A had a higher recurrence rate in the follow-up after surgical treatment (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
This modified inferior eyelid margin fixation of the orbicularis eyelid muscle treatment is an ideal procedure with a high degree of efficacy and low recurrence rate in patients with congenital lower eyelid entropion.
