title: Transconjunctival entropion repair - the backdoor approach.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a modified transconjunctival approach for involutional entropion repair.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study is a retrospective consecutive single surgeon case series using a transconjunctival approach for involutional lower lid entropion (ILLE) repair.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eleven eyes were operated for involution entropion with 9 cases of complete resolution. Two patients required further Jones' retractor plication.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Transconjunctival involutional lower lid entropion repair is a time-efficient, safe, and efficacious technique. The scar free technique described leads to full restoration of lower lid anatomy. In contrast to other reports we found a relatively low rate of recurrence on follow-up.
