Abstract: To explore effects of homologous sclera implantation for treating eyelid cicatricial entropion after burns.Fifteen patients (15 eyes) with cicatricial entropion after burns were operated under microscope with homologous sclera graft in the eyelid.The tarsus was separated fully from the palpebral margin of the musculus orbicularis oculi,with deleted area of the conjunctiva for implantation,and homologous sclera graft was taken on the implant bed and sutured together.The implant and the bed were well cured together during postoperative follow-up,with less than 10 percent of constriction of the implant,indicating obvious effect of homologous sclera graft for treating the eyelid cicatricial entropion after burns.
