This study presents a novel surgical technique for ptosis repair, involving orbicularis oculi muscle manipulation. The method offers a viable alternative for correcting eyelid drooping, demonstrating effectiveness over nine years.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid, can impair vision and affect appearance.
  • Existing surgical methods for ptosis correction have varying outcomes and complexities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a novel surgical approach for ptosis correction.
  • To assess the efficacy and viability of this technique as an alternative to current ptosis surgeries.

Main Methods:

  • A surgical technique involving a skin flap to expose the orbicularis oculi muscle.
  • Detailed description of muscle fiber manipulation and flap closure.
  • Performed 265 operations over a 9-year period for diverse ptosis cases.

Main Results:

  • The described surgical technique was applied to a wide range of ptosis types and severities.
