Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 30 patients with congenital severe ptosis to compare two techniques for silicone rod fixation in frontalis suspension surgery: the novel tarsal tunnel technique and the conventional suture fixation technique.
- Both techniques resulted in similar postoperative outcomes in terms of eyelid position and patient satisfaction, with no significant complications reported.
- The tarsal tunnel fixation method showed promising cosmetic and functional results, but further long-term studies are necessary to confirm the effectiveness of this new technique.
