Entropion
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to assess the combination of anterior lamellar recession (ALR) with blepharoplasty, suprasternal fixation, and internal eyelash bulb extirpation of aberrant lashes posteriorly located in patients with any grade of upper eyelid trachomatous cicatricial entropion
Interventions
PROCEDUREModified anterior Lamellar Recession
ALR is one of the procedures used to treat cicatricial entropion and trichiasis. Few studies present the effect of modifications to this procedure in trachomatous entropion and trichiasis. Because trachoma is common in our country, there is a probability that the number of surgeries for TT will rise.
