Purpose: To modify the traditional surgical approach to treat patients diagnosed with congenital lower eyelid entropion using inferior eyelid margin fixation of the orbicularis eyelid muscle.
Methods: Ninety-six participants (180 eyes) with congenital lower eyelid entropion diagnosed between January 2019 and April 2021 were included in this study. The patients were divided into Group A (cutaneous orbicularis oculi excision treatment) and Group B (inferior eyelid margin fixation treatment). The efficiency and recurrence rate of treatments were used to compare the two treatments.
Results: There was no significant difference in age, sex, and eyes distribution in both groups. And higher efficiency rate was found in Group B (P < 0.05). And Group A had a higher recurrence rate in the follow-up after surgical treatment (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: This modified inferior eyelid margin fixation of the orbicularis eyelid muscle treatment is an ideal procedure with a high degree of efficacy and low recurrence rate in patients with congenital lower eyelid entropion.
