Prediction of Postoperative Eyelid Height After Frontalis Suspension Using Autogenous Fascia Lata for Pediatric Congenital Ptosis

摘要

PURPOSE: To predict eyelid height after frontalis suspension using autogenous fascia lata for congenital ptosis. DESIGN: Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS: Eighty eyes of 54 children who underwent frontalis suspension using autogenous fascia lata were included. The amount of intraoperative eyelid lift and the postoperative change in eyelid height were assessed 6 months after surgery by reviews of photographs and medical records. The amount of operative eyelid lift was measured from 2 different baselines, and each amount was compared with the amount of real change in eyelid height after surgery. The difference between those was measured.
