To identify and describe the different procedures used in the treatment of floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) at Moorfields Eye Hospital and to evaluate their effectiveness.
Cross-sectional study.
A total of 71 patients who had undergone surgery for FES over a 13-year period since 1995 at Moorfields Eye Hospital were recruited. Retrospective data from 7 patients were also included, providing data for 78 patients.
Patients underwent a full ocular examination. A survival analysis was determined by plotting Kaplan-Meier curves for each type of procedure encountered. Comparison of survival trends was made using a log-rank test. The possible effects of bias arising from bilaterality of the condition were investigated using a sensitivity analysis and a Cox regression analysis allowing for clusters. Tests for surgeon bias were made using the Fisher exact test.
Recurrence of the condition. An assessment of recurrence was made clinically by 2 independent observers who were masked to the type of surgery the patient had undergone.
Four different forms of surgical treatment were encountered: (1) Full-thickness wedge excision (FTWE) (26 patients, 33 procedures); (2) Upper lid lateral tarsal strip (LTS) (31 patients, 43 procedures); (3) Medial canthal (MC) and lateral canthal (LC) plication (15 patients, 19 procedures); (4) Medial tarsal strip (6 patients, 6 procedures). A total of 44 of 101 procedures had failed. Superior long-term survival outcomes of both LC/MC plication (P = 0.003) and upper lid LTS (P = 0.001) procedures over FTWE was demonstrated. However, survival comparison between the LC/MC plication and LTS groups did not achieve significance (P = 0.37). No significant difference in outcome between surgeon groups of equivalent experience was demonstrated (P = 0.18). No bias arising from bilaterality of the condition was identified.
These data provide strong evidence of better survival outcomes in FES using the MC/LC plication and LTS procedures in comparison with the FTWE procedure. On the basis of experience from our unit, we recommend that the FTWE procedure be avoided as a form of treatment for FES in favor of the MC/LC plication, LTS, or medial tarsal strip procedure.

确定并描述 1995 年以来在 Moorfields 眼科医院治疗眼睑松弛综合征(FES)中使用的不同手术程序,并评估其疗效。
横断面研究。
共招募了 71 名在 Moorfields 眼科医院接受了 13 年 FES 手术的患者。还纳入了 7 名患者的回顾性数据,共有 78 名患者的数据。
患者接受全面的眼部检查。通过为每种手术绘制 Kaplan-Meier 曲线来确定生存分析。使用对数秩检验比较生存趋势。使用敏感性分析和允许聚类的 Cox 回归分析来调查该条件的双侧性引起的偏倚的可能影响。使用 Fisher 确切检验进行外科医生偏倚的检验。
病情复发。两名独立观察者对患者接受的手术类型进行了临床评估,结果进行了盲法评估。
共发现四种不同形式的手术治疗:(1)全层楔形切除(FTWE)(26 例,33 例);(2)上睑外侧睑板条(LTS)(31 例,43 例);(3)内侧和外侧眦(MC 和 LC)折叠术(15 例,19 例);(4)内侧睑板条(6 例,6 例)。共有 101 例手术中的 44 例失败。LC/MC 折叠术(P = 0.003)和上睑 LTS 术(P = 0.001)的长期生存结果明显优于 FTWE。然而,LC/MC 折叠术与 LTS 组之间的生存比较未达到显著性(P = 0.37)。在经验相当的外科医生组之间,未发现结果存在显著差异(P = 0.18)。未发现该疾病双侧性引起的偏倚。
这些数据提供了强有力的证据,表明在 Moorfields 眼科医院,与 FTWE 手术相比,MC/LC 折叠术和 LTS 手术在治疗 FES 中具有更好的生存结果。根据我们科室的经验,我们建议避免使用 FTWE 手术作为 FES 的治疗形式,而倾向于使用 MC/LC 折叠术、LTS 或内侧睑板条手术。
