| Popis: | Purpose: To demonstrate the benefits of using braided polyester in the management of severe or recurrent ptosis in children and young adults and to compare the efficacy of two surgical techniques. Methods: Retrospective, non-randomized record review of 30 patients (43 eyelid procedures) affected by congenital or acquired severe ptosis who underwent frontalis suspension with braided polyester from 2008 to 2016. Two surgical techniques were compared: the base-down triangle and the Fox pentagon, both of which were performed using a closed technique. Functional success was defined as clearing of the visual axis. Complications and results were examined. Results: Functional success was obtained in 39 eyes of 43 procedures. Marginal reflex distance increased an average of 2.51 mm with the base-down triangle technique and 1.70 mm with the Fox pentagon technique ( P = .05). The vertical palpebral fissure height increased an average of 4.60 mm with the base-down triangle technique and 2.45 mm with the Fox pentagon technique ( P < .001). Mean follow-up duration was 38.6 months. Complications included untied suture (n = 2), suture dehiscence (n = 1), cellulitis (n = 2), and granuloma (n = 1). Conclusions: Braided polyester was found to be a safe, effective, easy-to-handle, and low-cost sling material for frontalis suspension and should be considered for clinical use, especially in developing countries where the cost and availability of other materials represents a significant barrier to treatment. In the authors' experience, the base-down triangle technique appeared superior to the Fox pentagon technique. [ J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus . 2018;55(4):229–233.] |
