Introduction: Trachoma is the leading infectious causes of blindness Worldwide. Trachomatous Trichiasis ( T T ) is a consequence of progression of conjunctival scarring caused by recurrent infection of Chlamydia Trachomatis. Most attention has focused on increasing the quantity of Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT) surgery performed. A surgical audit by those performing Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT) surgery is not a routine part of any national trachoma control program, and no effective mechanism exists for identifying surgeons experiencing poor outcomes Methods: Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) methodology used to develop an audit tool for assessing the outcome of the TT surgery in terms of postoperative Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT). Result: 59 (74%) Female and 21(26%) Male were audited. 90% of the audited beneciary from East Badwacho district has well corrected and most (95%) of the audit beneciaries from Yem special districts have well corrected. Based on the nding, both TT surgeons were categorized under “a POST-OP TT recurrence < 10% (denitely acceptable). Conclusion: TT surgeons with Post Op Trachomatous Trichiasis (TT) will guide a manager for remedial intervention such as retraining, Coaching/mentoring and supportive supervision
