title: [Surgical treatment of senile entropion and ectropion of the lower lid (author's transl)].
abstract: a) Entropion: When developing or discussing a surgical technique one should try to understand how senile entropion develops. On the basis of clinical observation we can develop a suitable surgical technique from our knowledge of atonic (never spastic) entropion. The technique is described and results discussed. b) Ectropion: Clinical observations indicate two distinct causes of pathology: either elongation of the tarsus or loosening at the points of attachment. The surgical technique should be adapted on the basis of this observation. Surgical methods are discussed.
