They were randomly divided into two equal groups for TRP with LTS (group A) and PS (group B). Success was defined as relief in epiphora and lid laxity \u22644mm at 12 months post operatively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Result:<\/jats:title>\n There were 19 male and 11 female patients with age ranging from 55-80 years. The mean grade of ectropion was 2.80\u00b11.32 in group A and 2.87\u00b11.60 in group B. The preoperative horizontal laxity increased with the grade of ectropion (p <0.001) while medial canthal laxity was variable. The average surgical time per procedure in group A was 66 minutes and in group B was 24 minutes. Group A had a success rate of 93.33%, while group B had a success rate of 87%. Post-operative complications occurred in 2 eyes in group B only.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Both LTS with TRP and PS are effective in the management of involutional ectropion. LTS with TRP though more invasive has higher success rates and a lower incidence of complications as compared to PS. However, PS is an easy to perform out- patient procedure that is faster and better tolerated in old patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874364101711010285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,12]],"date-time":"2017-09-12T07:24:33Z","timestamp":1505201073000},"page":"285-297","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comparison of Polypropylene Sling with Combined Transconjunctival Retractor Plication and Lateral Tarsal Strip for Correction of Involutional Lower Eye Lid Ectropion"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ruchi","family":"Goel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abhilasha","family":"Sanoria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sushil","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deepanjali","family":"Arya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Smriti","family":"Nagpal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neha","family":"Rathie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"Collin JR. \n A Manual of systematic eyelid surgery. 3rdedition. \n UK: Elsevier Inc 2006."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"424","DOI":"10.1097\/IOP.0000000000000218","volume":"30","author":"Ghafouri R.H.","year":"2014","unstructured":"Ghafouri RH, Allard FD, Migliori ME, Freitag SK. \n Lower eyelid involutional ectropion repair with lateral tarsal strip and internal retractor reattachment with full-thickness eyelid sutures. \n Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg \n 2014; \n 30\n (5)\n : 424-6.","journal-title":"Ophthal.
