Abstract

We Present our 2 years experience of performing simultaneous release of both upper and lower eyelids in post-burn ectropion in 29 patients (followed-up for 2 to 20 months). Over-correction was achieved in all the cases. Only 4 Patients needed secondary release later on. It has been observed that simultaneous upper and lower eyelid release is equally effective when compared to the classical approach of single eyelid release at one operative session. It reduces patient’s morbidity and is also more cost-effective.
