Abstract
- PURPOSE
To compare the success rate of two procedures frontalis sling operation and maximal levator resection for recurred congenital ptosis. METHODS: In the 44 eyes in 30 patients who had recurrence after frontalis sling using banked fascia lata, 21 eyes received frontalis sling operation using autogenous fascia lata (Group I), and the other 23 eyes received maximal levator resection with aponeurotic approach (Group II). Follow up was made at one month, three months, six months and one year after the operation. RESULTS: Six months after the operation, Group I showed 81.0% while Group II showed 78.3% in success rate. One year after the operation, Group I had 76.2%, while Group II had 73.9% in success rate. There were no significant statistical difference between the two groups (p=0.744, 0.707). CONCLUSIONS: In cases of recurrence after frontalis sling using banked fascia lata in treating congenital ptosis patients, we found the frontalis sling using autogenous fascia lata to be effective. The maximal levator resection may be used as an alternative procedure.
