Mean follow-up period was 41.6 (range 11.2–77.9) and 48.6 (16.1–87.4) months, respectively. Patients in the FL group had better functional and cosmetic results compared to those in silicone group, with no recurrence of ptosis. More complications were experienced by patients in the SR group.Conclusion: Autologous FL for frontalis suspension remains an excellent choice for (and should be considered as useful surgical armamentarium for) repair of severe congenital ptosis.Keywords: fascia lata, silicone rod, congenital ptosis, frontalis suspensionChung HWSeah LLDove Medical PressarticleFascia LataSilicone RodCongenital PtosisFrontalis SuspensionOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 10, Pp 1779-1783 (2016) |
