How Skin/Mucosal Graft or Septal Support is performed
Used for ectropion caused by scar contracture or tissue loss. Autologous skin, oral mucosa, or suitable biomaterials can be selected as grafts or spacer grafts, which are fixed after releasing the scar and reconstructing the layers of the lower eyelid, with lateral canthal strip combined if necessary to improve stability. Postoperative monitoring of graft survival, eyelid margin apposition, and corneal protection, with pressure and moisturizing care as needed. The goal is to reduce exposure and tearing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
