Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of ectropion repair with adjunctive midface lift.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with cicatricial, involutional, or paralytic ectropion with midface descent. Ectropion repair with adjunctive supraperiosteal midface lifting was performed on each patient. Surgical indications included lower eyelid ectropion, lagophthalmos, and/or cosmetic deformity. Outcomes analyzed were recurrence or adequacy of ectropion correction, complications, and need for further surgery. Surgical success was determined by the need for further surgery.
Results: A total of 32 procedures performed on 22 patients undergoing ectropion repair with adjunctive supraperiosteal midface lift were reviewed. Of the 15 procedures for patients with cicatricial ectropion, 80% (12 of 15 procedures) had improvement of lower eyelid position, without the need for further surgery; 71.4% of procedures for involutional ectropion (10 of 14 procedures) resulted in improvement in lower eyelid position, without the need for further surgery. There was improvement in ectropion in all patients with paralytic ectropion and no recurrences. A total of 5 patients had recurrences after ectropion repair with midface lift secondary to perioperative complications, a shortage of anterior lamella, or due to a heavy midface.
Conclusions: We demonstrated that most patients undergoing midface lift in addition to ectropion repair have a favorable result. This is to be expected, given the close anatomic relationship between the lower eyelid and the midface. A midface lift should be considered in all patients who have both ectropion and significant midface descent.

A Stepwise Approach to Surgical Decision-making for Lower Eyelid Ectropion: Insights from a Retrospective Study.
Aesthet Surg J

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Affiliated Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Background: Cicatricial lower-eyelid ectropion is a serious complication resulting from undesired lower lid blepharoplasty or impaired wound healing. Surgical treatment for ectropion is challenging for oculoplastic surgeons due to the unpredictability of surgical outcome and the difficulty of surgical design.
Objectives: The authors aimed to fully describe the surgical decision-making strategy for cicatricial ectropion, and to potentially enhance treatment outcomes.

Background: Cervical ectropion is frequently associated with vaginal symptoms requiring therapeutic intervention. However, no scientific consensus has been reached regarding the use of local re-epithelialization therapy to prevent severe bleeding, wound inflammation, and infection of cervical lesions.
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the aspect of the cervix by colposcopy after a 3-month treatment with an intravaginal medical device in the context of postoperative care of the symptomatic ectropion.
The Orbitomalar Ligament: A Cleavage Plane in Oculofacial Trauma.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
December 2024
Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Surgery.
We describe an oculofacial injury phenotype manifesting as a cleavage plane following the orbitomalar ligament in 5 cases. Across these cases, curvilinear wounds followed the course of the orbitomalar ligament, running clean planes through orbicularis oculi down to the infraorbital rim and arcus marginalis. One case involved bilateral orbitomalar ligaments, and 1 case involved the inferior canaliculus.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the use of artificial dermal grafts for lower eyelids after removing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) to assess scar contracture.
- Postoperative evaluations included four quantitative and two qualitative parameters, revealing no significant differences in measurements.
- The results suggest that artificial dermal grafts can be effectively used without causing complications like eyelid retraction or ectropion.

Article Synopsis
- Oral commissure stenosis and lower eyelid ectropion from burns are difficult to treat due to a lack of preclinical models; this study describes a method for inducing controlled burns in swine to aid future research.
- The experiment involved inducing burns of various durations (10 to 30 seconds) on swine and observing changes over time using techniques like laser speckle imaging for assessing tissue health and healing.
- Results indicated that longer burn times led to more severe tissue damage and inflammation, but no significant functional impairments were noted, suggesting the need for further exploration of treatments with this new burn model.
