Anterior tarsal V-wedge resection for cicatricial entropion.

PURPOSE
To determine the effectiveness of using a radiofrequency instrument to resect a V-shaped tarsal wedge for the correction of cicatricial upper eyelid entropion.


METHODS
Prospective evaluation of 16 upper eyelids of 11 consecutive patients.


RESULTS
The operation was successful in all 16 eyelids, with excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes.


CONCLUSIONS
Tarsal V-wedge resection is an effective alternative to other complicated techniques in the management of upper eyelid cicatricial entropion.
