Abstract Eyelid entropion is a condition in which the margin of the eyelid is inverted against the corneal and conjunctival surfaces, causing damage to these structures as a result of eyelashes and skin friction. Upper lid entropion is most commonly an acquired condition and usually occurs secondary to many cicatrizing processes, such as trachoma, which is the most commonly encountered cause of cicatricial entropion in Egypt. Different procedures for lid margin rotation have been used to correct the upper eyelid cicatricial entropion. A recent study had demonstrated that using a lid crease incision combines the basic mechanisms of the anterior and posterior approaches and in addition, it addresses a variety of lid problems commonly found in the aged population with cicatricial entropion. Our aim is to compare the surgical outcomes of two procedures done for upper eyelid cicatricial entropion, ”Transcutaneous Tarsal Marginal Rotation” or ”TMR” Vs ”Bilamellar Tarsal Rotation” or ”BLTR”. |
