Sažetak
The paper presents a modified operative technique for involutional lower lid entropion. The prospective noncomparative
study of 101 lower eyelids of 88 patients undergoing surgery for involutional lower lid entropion was conducted
in period from September 2005 until March 2012. Indication for the surgery was entropion, previously untreated, with
moderate to severe horizontal lid laxity and no clinically relevant medial and lateral canthal tendon laxity. The operative
technique is our modification of Quickert and Jones procedures. Photo was taken preoperatively and one month after
surgery. Clinical follow-up was at 7th postoperative day, one month and six months after surgery and in case of the recurrence.
Long-term follow-up was obtained via telephone interviews. There were 44 male (50%) and 44 female (50%) patients
included in the study. The age of patients was in average 73.27±8.1 years (range 53–90 years). Early postoperative
complication was localized lid swelling found in two patients starting 4–6 weeks postoperatively at the area of absorbable
suture. It resolved spontaneously in two and three weeks respectively. There was recurrence of entropion in 11 eyelids
(10.89%) of 10 patients. The mean interval between primary surgery and the recurrence was 17.45±14.84 months (range
4–48 months). In these eyelids Jones procedure was performed. However in four eyelids of four patients from the recurrent
group an additional surgery needed to be performed after 6, 12, 12 and 17 months respectively. Our modification of
surgical treatment for involutional lower lid entropion was effective in 89.11% of eyelids. Complications of the procedure
were scarce.
