How Ectropion Repair is performed
The surgical plan is selected based on the cause of ectropion. A common procedure involves performing lateral canthal tightening or eyelid margin shortening under local anesthesia or sedation to increase tension. Skin grafting or local flap may be performed to release scar contracture if necessary, and the punctal eversion and eyelid margin apposition are corrected. Pressure dressing is applied after hemostasis and suturing are completed. Postoperative monitoring focuses on tear overflow, corneal exposure, and wound blood supply, with the goal of restoring eyelid closure and tear drainage. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
