Abstract
Blepharoptosis surgery is one of the most common oculoplastic
procedures performed in the pediatric age group. The aim of surgery is to
clear the visual axis to reduce amblyopia and to correct any anomalous head
posture adopted by the patient. Another important goal is to improve
appearance by producing symmetric eyelid creases and contours.
This study was conducted on 30 eyelids of 20 paents suffering from
congenital ptosis with poor levator function. Patients were allocated to 1 of 2
surgical groups. Group A underwent fascia lata suspension using the
bitriangular sling configuration while group B was treated using the
monotriangular sling configuration. Harvesting of fascia lata was conducted
using a fascia lata stripper.
We found that the sling configuration (mono or bitriangular) did not
alter the surgical outcome. Results and complications of the monotriangular
and bitriangular methods were similar. In the monotriangular method, the
operation was shorter and easier, less sling material (fascia lata) was needed,
and fewer eyelid skin wounds were produced. Theoretically, the chance of
intraoperative complications such as eyelid hematoma and damage to ocular
soft tissues is less.
