Implication

Retrospective case series evaluates outcomes of nasal septal grafts in lower eyelid correction, indicating effective management of recurrent entropion.

Key Points

Evaluate clinical outcomes of lower eyelid entropion correction using nasal septal cartilage grafts.
Retrospective case series of 12 patients with unilateral cicatricial entropion.
Nasal septal cartilage grafts were placed transconjunctivally for posterior lamellar reconstruction.
Preoperative and postoperative assessments included MRD2, PFH, and patient satisfaction.
Mean MRD2 improved from 1.05±0.71 to 2.53±0.56 mm.
PFH increased from 5.90±1.11 to 7.31±0.75 mm, with significant reduction in scleral show.
Resolution of trichiasis and high patient satisfaction averaging 8.4/10 with no reported complications.
