ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the efficacy of Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy for the treatment of congenital ptosis.METHODS:
A retrospective, noncomparative case series was performed on 38 eyes of 36 patients who underwent Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy for the treatment of congenital ptosis. Age range was 2-25 years (mean 7.86 years). Follow-up measurements taken up to 4 years after procedure were compared with baseline values.RESULTS:
Thirty-six patients presenting with congenital ptosis underwent Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy. All patients had fair-to-good levator function of 5-10 mm. A mean improvement in the margin reflex distance-1 of 2.79 mm (p value < 0.0001) was noted. All cases except one achieved excellent lid height and postoperative symmetry of the eyelids.CONCLUSIONS:
Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of congenital ptosis in patients with moderate-to-good levator function. The surgery is rapid with quick recovery time. No complications were noted.The authors describe a retrospective case analysis of patients who underwent Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection combined with tarsectomy, for the treatment of congenital ptosis with moderate-to-good levator function, demonstrates excellent results.
