Abstract

Upper eyelid entropion can occur as a consequence of inflammation, infection, trauma or surgery. It may very rarely occur as a congenital eyelid malposition. Numerous surgical procedures have been described to correct it depending on the primary anatomical and pathophysiological defects. We describe the use of autogenous auricular cartilage for its correction where the tarsal plate is found to be deficient. Seven patients were studied prospectively after correction of their upper eyelid entropion with autogenous auricular cartilage with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. We report the surgical technique, and the results and complications of the procedure.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
