How Entropion Repair (Rotational Sutures/Retractor Repair) is performed
This procedure may involve rotational sutures, retractor tissue repair, or combined skin-muscle treatment, depending on the degree of eyelid laxity and scar contracture. Typically, the incision is marked under local anesthesia, and the relevant tissues are exposed in layers. The lower eyelid retractors and supporting structures are tightened, and sutures are used to evert the lash margin to near-physiological direction; if applicable, canthal reinforcement can be performed simultaneously. Postoperative care includes lubrication and corneal protection, monitoring for bleeding, infection, and eyelid position, with the goal of reducing corneal friction and improving blinking function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
