Treatment of ptosis by levator resection with adjustable sutures via the anterior approach.
The authors describe a one-step anterior approach levator resection technique with intraoperative adjustable sutures. Forty-four ptotic eyes were divided into five groups, and the results of this technique were evaluated for each of these five types of ptosis. Our results show that it is not possible to predict the extent of a levator resection preoperatively from the assessment of the levator ...
متن کاملAn Anterior Approach for Resection and Advancement of the Levator.
RESECTION and advancement of the levator palpebrae superioris gives the best functional and cosmetic result of any ptosis operation. As a rule, operation on the levator is indicated if there is a degree of function in this muscle. Myasthenia gravis, the myopathies, jaw-winking, and related anomalies of innervation are the exceptions to this rule. Bowman was perhaps the first to attempt correcti...
متن کاملLevator Resection in the Management of Myopathic Ptosis
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of levator resection in patients with myopathic ptosis. METHODS The medical records of consecutive patients who underwent levator resection surgery performed for myopathic ptosis between October 2009 and March 2013 were reviewed. Indications for surgery were ptosis obscuring the visual axis and margin-reflex distance ≤ 2 mm. Surgical success was defined as clea...
متن کاملAdjustable sutures in eyelid surgery for ptosis and lid retraction.
New techniques are described and illustrated for ptosis and lid retraction surgery in which the sutures holding the upper eyelid position are adjustable postoperatively. In the anterior approach, the sutures pass from the levator muscle through the anterior surface of the tarsal plate at the position of the skin crease and are tied at the skin crease incision. In the posterior approach, the sut...
متن کاملManagement 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...
