  • Title: Repair of cicatricial ectropion by horizontal shortening and pedicle flap.
    Author: Leone CR.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1975; 6(2):47-9. PubMed ID: 1097979.
    Abstract:
    Senile ectropion can usually be repaired by a horizontal shortening procedure. However, in those cases where there is a cicatricial component, additional skin is needed to insure a satisfactory result. This report describes a method of correcting this type of ectropion by utilizing a combination of horizontal shortening and single pedicle flap from the upper eyelid.
