AIM:To explore treatment efficacy of the lower eyelid twitch muscle transposition surgery in senile entropion.

METHODS: Fifty cases(86 eyes)of senile lower eyelid entropion patients underwent lower eyelid twitch muscle transposition correction surgery as the experimental group, and the other 42 cases(68 eyes)of senile lower eyelid entropion patients received orbicularis muscle shortening correction as controls group. The correction rate, double eyelid symmetry and overcorrection rate of patients were observed one week after surgery. The patients were followed up for 6～12mo to be observed the long-term recurrence rate, double eyelid symmetry and overcorrection rate.

RESULTS: One week after operation, eyelid symmetry, overcorrection rate of experimental group and control group had significant difference(P<0.05); After followed up for 6～12mo, eyelid symmetry, overcorrection rate of experimental group and control group had significant difference(P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: Folding and orbicularis muscle shortening treatment of senile entropion was compared with the lower eyelid twitch muscle transposition surgery treatment of senile entropion, We can find that clinical results in double eyelid surgery symmetry and overcorrection rate are of obvious advantage.
