Correction of ectropion of the lower lid by upper eyelid skin transposition
Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg.

Abstract
A technique for the correction of ectropion of the lower lid by transposition of a full-thickness skin flap from the ipsilateral upper eyelid to the lower lid has been used in seven patients. The technique allows great flexibility in the extent of the approximation of the lower lid to the eye globe. The pedicle is based medially to obtain close contact between the lower punctum and the eye globe. There were no complications. We believe that the eyelid skin flap transposition technique is a useful operation for the correction of moderate to severe senile and paralytic ectropion.
