Repair of cicatricial ectropion by horizontal shortening and pedicle flap

C R Leone Jr. Ophthalmic Surg. 1975 Summer.

Abstract

Senile ectropion can usually be repaired by a horizontal shortening procedure. However, in those cases where there is a cicatricial component, additional skin is needed to insure a satisfactory result. This report describes a method of correcting this type of ectropion by utilizing a combination of horizontal shortening and single pedicle flap from the upper eyelid.
