Özet
Blepharoptosis surgery is one of the most common oculoplastic procedures, and the aim is to clear the visual axis. Many surgical techniques for the correction of ptosis have been described and performed, but the operative approach is based on the extent of eyelid excursion, the amount of levator function, and the degree of ptosis. In this study, the frontalis sling procedure with triband suspension was performed on 32 eyelids of 23 patients. All the patients had visual loss because of blepharoptosis with only 0 to 3 mm of measurable levator function. Postoperatively, the palpebral fissure was increased in all the patients. The purpose of this study was to report the use of a modified frontalis sling procedure for congenital ptosis patients with minimal to no levator function. In conclusion, this modified frontalis sling technique if used maximizes the frontalis muscle, creating sufficient eyelid elevation, with stable effect over time.
