Abstract
|
|
|
The result of the surgical correction of the congenital blepharoptosis is determined by the nature of ptosis, operative method, operator’s technique and post operative care.
Among the factors levator function is most important, therefore, preoperative assessment of the levator function and surrounding structures must be carefully performed for the best operative result.
Frontalis suspensions using autogenous fascia have been widely used in the cases whose levator funtions are less than 2mm. But the method may develop some postperative problems; recurrence due to absorption or loosening of fascia lata, complexity of the operative procedures, herniation of the muscles in lateral thigh and hematoma. Because of these problems, many considerations were prompted to use the autogenous tendon.
Authors report 3 cases of congenital blepharoptosis who have been satisfactorily corrected by frontalis suspension method using palmaris longus tendon.
