A new technique to prevent conjunctival prolapse in Asian patients for correcting severe blepharoptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Asian patients with severe ptosis,the use of conjoint fascia sheath (CFS) suspension or levator aponeurosis fascia complex shortening surgery can correct the ptosis. During these surgery, a significant amount of levator aponeurosis fascia shortening is performed, which often leads to serious complications such as conjunctival prolapse.This study compares two surgical approaches for correcting severe blepharoptosis:Conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) + levator aponeurosis and muller's muscle complex (LM complex) suspension and conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) + LM complex+conjunctival suspension.The postoperative efficacy and the incidence of complications such as conjunctival prolapse are investigated for both procedures.

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed 70 p
