J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg. 2020 Sep 20;: Authors: Zhang Y, Niu G, Zhang J, Qu S, Liu C, Lin H, Zhou Q, Bi Y Abstract OBJECTIVE: To report outcomes of a surgical technique of eyelid margin splitting and anterior lamellar repositioning with lower eyelid non-entropion trichiasis. METHOD: A total of 13 patients (5 males and 8 females) with lower eyelid non-entropion trichiasis who had undergone eyelid margin splitting and anterior lamellar repositioning at Tongji Hospital from January 2018 to June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULT: All patients underwent surgery successfully, and 13 patients (23 eyes) were followed up for 9-18 months (mean 12.23±3.14 months). Symptoms were entirely relieved in all patients without the need for further surgery, and all patients were satisfied with the appearance after surgery. The lower lid margin was a flat platform with normal anatomical landmarks, and the lower eyelid eyelashes were no longer in contact with the globe. However, one patient relapsed 7 months after surgery. CONCLUSION: Patients with lower eyelid non-entropion trichiasis can be treated effectively through eyelid margin splitting and anterior lamellar repositioning with inapparent skin scarring.
