چکیده
INTRODUCTION To evaluate the cosmetic results and recurrence of unilateral frontalis sling surgery using a silicone rod compared with autogenous fascia lata in cases of simple congenital ptosis. METHODS This is a retrospective comparative study of 59 patients who underwent a frontalis sling operation for congenital ptosis. Patients were divided into two groups according to the sling material used; an autogeneous fascia lata (fl) group (n = 24) and a silicone rod group (sl) (n = 35). Cosmetic results and recurrence rates were compared between these 2 groups. The cosmetic results of the frontalis sling operation were assessed as good, fair, or poor based on the difference between the Margin Reflex Distance (MRD) of both eyelids and graded as good if the difference in two eyes was ≤1mm and poor if it was 2mm or more. Recurrence was defined as the conversion of the cosmetic result from good or fair to poor category. RESULTS At postoperative day seven and 30, MRD of both the groups were good but on three months follow-up MRD of silicon rod group dropped, however it was not statistically significant .Lid contour was good in both the groups, however, lid symmetry was poor in two cases of fascia lata at three months follow-up. Repeat surgery for poor outcome was done in 8.6% of cases in silicon rod and 8.3% of fascia lata group. CONCLUSIONS The frontalis sling operation using either a silicone rod or autogenous fascia lata showed equally good cosmetic results and lower recurrence rate at three months follow up.

متن کاملComparing suture materials used in frontalis suspension procedures.
The search for the ideal material to be used in frontalis suspension procedures to correct congenital ptosis has been going on for many years and continues to this day. This makes me believe that perhaps there is no ideal suspensory material other than autogenous fascia lata. To add a little perspective on this problem, I reviewed a publication from 1984 in which, along with my co-editor Leonar...
