Combination of a modified Hotz procedure with the Jones procedure decreases the recurrence of involutional entropion

摘要

PurposeInvolutional entropion is a common condition in Asian countries, including Japan. One cause of involutional entropion is weakening of the capsulopalpebral fascia (CPF). The aged, thin, membranous nature of the CPF limits the results of correction by the original Jones procedure (CPF tightening) alone, so we added the modified Hotz procedure to the entropion repair. We then compared the recurrence rates and operation times in corrections performed with and without this additional procedure.
