영문 초록

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Quickert-Rathbun suture to correct involutional entropion. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 132 consecutive patients (132 lids, male 58, female 74) with involutional entropion who underwent correction from September 2001 to June 2004 at Kim`s eye hospital. All surgical corrections were performed with the Quickert-Rathbun suture technique. The average follow-up period was 9 months (1~17 months). Results: The average length of follow-up time was 14 months (6~22 months). There were no long-term complications like lagophthalmos or ectropion. Surgery was successful in 102 (77.2%) of the 132 eyelids in the first Quickert-Rathbun suture. The second Quickert-Rathbun suture was performed to 17 out of 30 recurred patients, One of whom was noted to have recurrent entropion at 12 months. The final success rate of Quickert-Rathbun suture was 89.3%. The average length of recurrence time was 9.1±8.4 months. Conclusions: The Quickert-Rathbun suture described is simple, straightforward and reliable for the correction of involutional entropion primarily.
