Management of Senile Ptosis with Levator Muscle Resection Using the Putterman Clamp
Putterman clamp, a muscle clamp, is commonly used in conjunctival müllerectomies. We report 3 cases of senile ptosis repaired with levator muscle resection using the Putterman clamp. The redundant levator aponeurosis was removed with electrocautery after clamping with the Putterman clamp. The levator muscle was refixed to the tarsus with three 4-0 Vicryl stitches after adjusting the height of t...
متن کاملExternal levator advancement vs Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection for correction of upper eyelid involutional ptosis.
PURPOSE To compare external levator advancement and Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (conjunctivomullerectomy, or CJM) for correction of upper eyelid involutional ptosis. DESIGN Retrospective, nonrandomized, comparative interventional case series. METHODS Review of medical records of 159 patients (272 surgical procedures) who underwent external levator advancement or CJM was performed...
متن کاملOutcomes of mild to moderate upper eyelid ptosis correction using Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection.
BACKGROUND Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection is used to correct mild to moderate ptosis commonly encountered in the rejuvenation patient population. The authors examined its efficacy and analyzed variables that potentially affect outcomes. METHODS Patients who underwent ptosis correction using Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection with greater than 10-month follow-up were included. Amou...
متن کاملTransconjunctival Levator Aponeurosis Advancement without Resection of Müller’s Muscle in Aponeurotic Ptosis Repair
The transconjunctival levator aponeurosis advancement without resection of Müller's muscle enables repair of aponeurotic ptosis without the need for surgical exposure through a skin incision. This technique may be preferred by many patients who are reluctant to undergo ptosis surgery because of the possible skin scar and who do not present with excessive upper eyelid laxity. A successful outcom...
متن کاملMüller muscle conjunctival resection for blepharoptosis in patients with poor to fair levator function.
It has been suggested that Müller muscle conjunctival resection might not be a good procedure for the treatment of blepharoptosis in patients with less than optimal levator function. This case series includes four eyelids (three patients) that had fair preoperative levator function (4 to 8 mm) and good response to phenylephrine. The mean preoperative levator function was 6.25 mm and the mean am...
