Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the surgical results of tarsal fracture and anterior lamellar reposition in patients with cicatricial entropion. METHODS: The authors retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 9 patients (11 eyes) who had undergone tarsal fracture and anterior lamellar reposition for cicatricial entropion from October 2003 to September 2008. RESULTS: 6 eyes of 5 patients were male and 5 eyes of 4 patients were female. The patients' mean age was 63.4 (43.5~75.9) years. The mean follow-up period was 29.9 (7~67.6) months. After surgery, the ocular irritation disappeared in all patients. There were no recurrences or complications. CONCLUSIONS: Tarsal fracture and anterior lamellar reposition in patients with cicatricial entropion is a simple and cosmetically effective procedure without complications.
