Öz

AMAÇ: Ektropiyon göz kapağı kenarının dışa doğru kıvrılmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; involüsyonel ve paralitik ektropiyon onarımında kullanılabilecek kolay ve etkin bir yöntem olan Kuhnt Szymanowski tekniğinin Smith modifikasyonunun etkinliğinin ve estetik olarak kabul edilebilirliğinin değerlendirilmesidirYÖNTEMLER: Alt göz kapağında ektropiyon şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvuran ve Kuhnt Szymanowski tekniğinin Smith modifikasyonu ile tedavi edilen 5 hasta klinik ve fotoğrafik olarak incelendi. BULGULAR: Hiçbir olguda majör bir komplikasyon ya da nüks gözlenmedi. Ortalama 10 ay olan takip süresi sonunda tüm hastalar cerrahi sonuçtan memnundu. SONUÇ: Alt göz kapağında horizontal gevşekliğin daha ön planda olduğu involüsyonel ve paralitik ektropiyon olgularında Kuhnt Szymanowski tekniğinin Smith modifikasyonunun uygun bir cerrahi yöntem olduğu kanaatindeyiz.
