简要总结
Mild to moderate blepharoptosis with good levator function is usually corrected by levator muscle resection or advancement with their modifications with high success rate. Levator plication technique has been strongly suggested in patients with mild to moderate ptosis, advocated by its simple and rapid recovery. Its drawback is a high recurrence rate.
We suggest a modified tucking technique that improves the force of eyelid elevation with preserved normal anatomy of Muller's muscle and conjunctiva with less disturbance to the Levator muscle aponeurosis. It is a short procedure, less complications with good aesthetic results and high patient's satisfaction.
详细描述
A prospective single-centre study enrolling 180 patients with blepharoptosis at Ain Shams University Hospitals from March 2017 to February 2019. Patients of unilateral or bilateral mild to moderate ptosis with good levator function (more than 8 mm) were included. Those with severe, traumatic, recurrent, mechanical ptosis, Marcus-Gunn jaw winking syndrome, third nerve palsy, absent Bell's phenomenon, or abnormal ocular motility were excluded. The follow-up was at one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year visits. Functional outcome was assessed by analysis of the upper eyelid margin position in relation to the superior limbus and classified as very good (2 mm), good (2-4 mm), poor (5 mm) and preoperative to postoperative difference in marginal reflex distance (MRD). The aesthetic outcome was assessed in the form of symmetry of eyelid height, lid contour, lid crease presence, and degree of patient's postoperative satisfaction.
