Abstract

The opposite conditions of ectropion and entropion are caused by a similar pathogenesis and can be treated with similar principles. Therefore, they are presented in this chapter as two variations of the same entity. The traditional concept of inverting surgery for ectropion or everting surgery for entropion does not take into account that the most adequate procedure should simply aim to repair involutional pathology and try to restore normal anatomy.
