Comparison Between Two Surgical Methods for Eyelid Ectropion: Tarsal Strip Alone Versus Tarsal Strip With Punctoplasty (Three Snips With or Without Diamond-shaped Resection) (ECTROPALP)

September 14, 2016 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville
Ectropion of the eyelid can lead to skin retraction, stenosis of lacrimal point, chronic watering, visual discomfort or low visual acuity, mostly when it occurs with ectropion of lacrimal point. The objective of the study is to compare two surgical strategies for eyelid ectropion combined with ectropion of the lacrimal point
