SUMMARY: Ectropion is a pathological condition usually affecting the lower eyelid and especially its margin which droops and rotates outwards. Ectropion may be acquired (involutional, mechanical, paralytic or cicatricial) or congenital. The pathological entity can result following damage of the basic anatomical structures of the eyelid, such as injury-induced scarring of the skin, burns or postoperative scarring. Its correction is deemed necessary due to the resulting aesthetic and functional problems, and can be achieved mainly by surgical means. One of the main surgical procedures involves the use of local skin flaps, such as nasolabial ones, advancement buccal flaps, Tenzel rotational flap, Tripier and Mustardè flaps. Aim of the present paper is to present the 10year experience of treating patients with post-traumatic/post-operative cicatricial ectropion of the lower eyelid, using local skin flaps, and more precisely nasolabial, buccal advancement, Tripier and Mustardè flaps. The above mentioned surgical procedures were used in 14 patients. No intra- or postoperative complications were observed. The immediate postoperative and long-term results were satisfactory in both aesthetic and functional terms. The restoration of the lower eyelid function was immediate and satisfactory in all cases, with no relapses.
