What is Lateral Tarsal Strip versus Tensor Fascia Lata Sling for Paralytic Ectropion - Comparison and Long-Term Outcomes about?
Background: Paralytic ectropion increases risk for corneal injury in facial palsy patients. While a lateral tarsal strip (LTS) provides corneal coverage through supero-lateral lower eyelid pull, the unopposed lateral force may result in lateral displacement of the lower eyelid punctum and overall worsening asymmetry. A tensor fascia lata (TFL) lower eyelid sling may overcome some of these limitations. This study quantitatively compares scleral show, punctum deviation, lower marginal reflex distance (MRD), and peri-orbital symmetry between the two techniques. Methods: Retrospective review was performed on facial paralysis patients who underwent a LTS or TFL sling with no prior lower lid suspension procedures. Standardized pre-and post-operative images in primary gaze position were used to measure scleral show and lower punctum deviation using ImageJ, and lower MRD using Emotrics. Results: Of 449 facial paralysis patients, 79 met inclusion criteria. Fifty-seven underwent a LTS and twenty-two a TFL sling. Compared to pre-operatively, lower medial scleral show significantly improved with both LTS (10.9 mm 2 , p<0.01) and TFL (14.7 mm 2 , p<0.01). The LTS group showed significant worsen
