ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To introduce the minimal skin and orbicularis oculi muscle resection with the full thickness rotating suture technique for lower lid epiblepharon and to assess its surgical outcome. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records was performed on lower lid epiblepharon patients who were followed for more than 6 months after surgical correction performed between January 2004 and December 2015. All surgeries were performed by one surgeon using minimal skin and orbicularis oculi muscle resection and the full thickness rotating suture technique for lower lid epiblepharon correction. RESULTS: A total of 943 lower lid epiblepharon patients (403 male, 540 female) were included in the analysis. The mean patient age was 6.7 ± 2.4 years, and the mean postoperative follow-up was 12.9 ± 7.2 months. Eyelid shape and function were well maintained in 904 patients (95.9%), with no recurrence during follow-up. Among the recurrent cases (39 patients [4.1%]), 19 patients (2%) underwent a second correction surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Minimal skin and orbicularis oculi muscle resection with the full thickness rotating suture technique for lower lid epiblepharon showed good surgical outcome with few complications and high success rate.
