Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to assess the combination of anterior lamellar recession (ALR) with blepharoplasty, suprasternal fixation, and internal eyelash bulb extirpation of aberrant lashes posteriorly located in patients with any grade of upper eyelid trachomatous cicatricial entropion

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Modified anterior Lamellar Recession

All patients in this arm underwent a combination of ALR, blepharoplasty, suprasternal fixation, and cauterization or internal bulb extirpation of posteriorly located lashes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Modified anterior Lamellar Recession

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

ALR is one of the procedures used to treat cicatricial entropion and trichiasis. Few studies present the effect of modifications to this procedure in trachomatous entropion and trichiasis. Because trachoma is common in our country, there is a probability that the number of surgeries for TT will rise.
