“…Jamison et al [15], in a comment on the Nakos trial [8], compared the complications and recurrence rates between a group (15 eyes) treated with LTS and the Jones procedure and a group (16 eyes) treated with LTS and ES, for a total of 31 eyes. Because of the short-term follow-up period, subtle differences were not revealed between the two groups.…”

There are three pathophysiologies of involutional entropion, vertical laxity (VL), horizontal laxity (HL), and overriding of the preseptal orbicularis. The effects of methods to correct VL only, HL only, or both VL and HL in patients with involutional entropion were compared using the published results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).To find RCT studies that investigated methods to correct involutional entropion, a systematic search was performed from database inception to April 2020 in the Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Two independent researchers conducted the literature selection and data extraction. Evaluation of the quality of the reports was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias (ROB 2.0). The data analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines using Review Manager 5.3.Two RCT studies were included in this meta-analysis. Surgery for involutional entropion was performed on a total of 109 eyes. Everting sutures (ES) were used on 57 eyes and lateral tarsal strips (LTS) or combined procedures (LTS + ES) were performed on 52 eyes. At the end of the follow-up periods, involutional entropion recurred in 18 eyes (31.6%) in the ES group and three eyes (5.8%) in the LTS +/- ES group. Analysis of the risk ratio showed that the LTS +/- ES method significantly lowered the recurrence rate compared to using ES only (P = 0.007).Performing LTS +/- ES effectively lowered the recurrence rate of involutional entropion compared to ES alone. However, some patients cannot tolerate more invasive corrections such as LTS. Therefore, sequential procedures, in which ES is performed first and then when entropion recurs LTS +/- ES is performed, or another methods depending upon the degree of HL may be used.

Comments on: Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Everting Sutures with a Lateral Tarsal Strip for Involutional Lower Eyelid Entropion

Abstract: Points ''Combined'' entropion surgery (lateral tarsal strip procedure combined with either everting sutures or Jones retractor plication) offers good long-term success.
