Abstract

Aim. To present a method for surgical correction of senile entropion by excision of a triangular musculocutaneous flap in non-hospital setting.

Material and methods. We analyzed the outcome of surgical treatment of 11 patients aged 60–83 years diagnosed with senile entropion (3 men and 8 women). Out of the studied group, 3, 5 and 3 patients suffered from a mild, average and pronounced entropion degree, respectively (Bystrov’s classification, 1979). The results were assessed based on the presence of complications and the occurrence of relapses.

Results. The recovery was observed in 9 patients; the disease recurrence – in 2 cases.

Conclusion. The proposed method of surgical correction of senile entropion implies excision of a triangular musculocutaneous flap with the base to the outer or inner commissure of the eyelid with the movement of the sliding skin flap. The method showed high efficiency (81.8%) in eliminating the horizontal and vertical weakness of the musculocutaneous plate of the lower eyelid.
