[Partial palpebral myotarsectomy (author's transl)]. 1978

G Payer, and H Payer

In cases of senile entropium we prefer an operation method, which attempts to exclude the aetiologic factors of these senile alterations. The tension of the tarsus must be increased and the muscle of the orbicularis at the palpebral margin must be reduced and retightened over the convex margin of the tarsus. It is not of less importance to correct the reduced elasticity of the fascia tarsoorbitalis. These corrections are achieved by a perforating rhomboid excision of the lower eyelid. The operation is performed with the use of a Chalazion forceps (Desmarres) which steps all bleeding. The method of operation was successful in all 34 cases and achieved good functional and cosmetic results. Recurrences were not observed.
