Outcomes of Adult Aponeurotic Ptosis Repair Under General Anaesthesia by a Posterior Approach White-Line Levator Advancement

摘要: Aponeurotic ptosis surgery is conventionally performed under local anaesthetic to allow adjustment of eyelid height and contour. This may not be possible where general anaesthesia (GA) required.Purpose: We describe our experience using a tranconjunctival posterior approach “white-line” levator advancement (WLA) in patients undergoing aponeurotic correction GA.Materials Methods: Retrospective review consecutive series 20 with primary WLA repair GA. The procedure involves exposing the surface aponeurosis through tarsus onto its anterior if exposed already, or skin. All underwent pre- postoperative photographs final outcomes were assessed at minimum 3 months. Outcome measures included post-marginal reflex distance (MRD), symmetry height, contour, fold complications including dry eye.Results: Twenty 40 proc...
