    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Ptosis correction surgery, specifically the Fasanella-Servat operation, has seen various suture placement modifications.
    • Optimizing suture techniques is crucial for patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified Fasanella-Servat operation utilizing a specific suture technique.
    • To highlight the advantages of this modified surgical approach for ptosis repair.

    Main Methods:

    • The modified technique employs a 5-0 nylon running mattress suture traversing the cut edges of the tarsal plate.
    • Suture ends are secured externally with rubber bolsters for stability.
    • Suture removal is scheduled for 10 days post-operation.

    Main Results:

    • The method avoids placing suture knots on the corneal surface, reducing potential irritation.
    • Suture placement and removal are straightforward and efficient.
    • Minimal tissue reaction was observed, and the removable suture facilitates a clean outcome.

    Conclusions:

    • This modified Fasanella-Servat operation offers a practical and effective approach to ptosis correction.
    • The technique's advantages include reduced corneal complications, ease of use, and improved patient comfort.
