Simultaneous ptosis and strabismus surgery in children is as effective and safe as sequential procedures. Combining surgeries reduces anesthesia exposure without increasing complications or reoperations.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Children with ptosis and strabismus often require multiple surgical interventions.
Sequential surgeries necessitate separate anesthetic events, increasing exposure and potential risks.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare clinical outcomes of simultaneous versus sequential ptosis and strabismus surgery in pediatric patients.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining these procedures.

Main Methods:

Retrospective cohort study of 56 children undergoing ptosis and strabismus surgery on the same eye.
Simultaneous surgery: single anesthetic event. Sequential surgery: at least 7 weeks apart.
Outcomes assessed: surgical success rates, complications, and reoperations.

Main Results:

No significant differences in success rates, complications, or reoperations between simultaneous and sequential surgery groups (p > 0.28).
Congenital ptosis and comitant strabismus were common indications.
Common ptosis procedures included frontalis sling and Fasanella-Servat.

Conclusions:

Simultaneous ptosis and strabismus surgery is clinically effective and safe in children.
Combining procedures does not increase postoperative complications or reoperation rates.
Simultaneous surgery reduces overall anesthesia exposure for pediatric patients.
