Resumen

AGRAMONTE CENTELLES, Ileana Cristobalina et al. Orbicularis Crosslinking for Senile Entropion Using the Modified Martinez-Rodríguez Technique. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1561-3070.

Objective:

To describe the results of the orbicularis crosslinking technique, described by emeritus professors from Pando Ferrer institute, in senile entropion.

Methods:

A retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive and observational study was carried out with patients who received attention at Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer between January 2021 and June 2022. The sample consisted of patients with senile entropion operated on with the modified Martinez-Rodriguez technique. They underwent a complete ocular examination with follow-up at 24 hours, 7 and 15 days, one month and three months after surgery. The used variables were age, sex, laterality, surgery time and complications.

Results:

The mean age was 79.26 years, with a predominance of the male sex (69.56 %) in 23 patients and 26 eyelids; there were 20 unilateral cases and 3 bilateral ones. One complication of hypocorrection (3.84 %) and a mean time of 11.9 minutes were reported.

Conclusions:

The described technique is an effective approach for senile entropion, demonstrated according to the low frequency of complications, as well as simple and minimally invasive and without severe horizontal laxity.
