A comparison of the lateral tarsal strip with everting sutures and the Quickert procedure for involutional entropion
Acta Ophthalmologica Mar 31, 2019
Dulz S, et al. - In a prospective randomized comparative trial, 66 eyelids of 52 patients were examined to study the statistically significant difference in the surgical consequence of the lateral tarsal strip with everting sutures (LTS + ES) vs the Quickert procedure (QP) in the treatment of involutional entropion. They observed the recurrence of lower eyelid entropion in one eyelid (success probability 0.97) in the QP group and 2 treated eyelids (success probability of 0.93) in the LTS + ES group after 14 months. No statistically significant difference in surgical failure between the LTS + ES vs QP was noticed. Overall, they concluded similar success rates at 14 months in subjects treated with either technique (LTS + ES vs QP).
