title: [Tarsal flap technique. A technically simple procedure for correction of lower lid flaccidity, senile ectropion and ptosis of the lateral canthus].
abstract: Lower lid flaccidity, senile extropion and canthal malposition are the principal indications for the tarsal flap technique. This is a technically simple procedure avoiding sutures on the border of the lashes and avoiding the disadvantages of the technique of Kuhnt - Szymanowski, which cause a shortening of palpebral length due to tarsal resection.
