    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, can impair vision and affect appearance.
    • Surgical correction of ptosis aims to elevate the eyelid to a functional and aesthetic position.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of levator tucking as a surgical technique for ptosis repair.
    • To compare levator tucking with established ptosis correction procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of nine cases of ptosis treated with levator tucking.
    • Assessment of postoperative complications and functional outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Four postoperative complications were observed in the nine cases undergoing levator tucking.
    • Levator tucking demonstrated no significant advantage compared to levator resection or Fasanella-Servat procedures for mild ptosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Current levator tucking technique offers no clear benefit over existing methods for mild ptosis.
    • A novel, firmer levator tucking procedure is suggested for further investigation and potential improvement.
