A frontalis sling procedure for blepharoptosis using a 1 mm solid silicone rod is described. This procedure is ideal for patients requiring frontalis suspension who are at risk for postoperative exposure keratopathy, or for patients likely to need postoperative eyelid position adjustment. These would include individuals with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, third nerve paralysis, and myasthenia gravis. The advantages of this technique are the elasticity and the availability of the silicone rod, together with formation of an eyelid crease and ability postoperatively to adjust the position of the upper eyelid.
描述了一种使用1毫米实心硅胶棒治疗上睑下垂的额肌悬吊手术。该手术对于有术后暴露性角膜病变风险的需要额肌悬吊的患者,或可能需要术后调整眼睑位置的患者来说是理想的。这些患者包括慢性进行性眼外肌麻痹、动眼神经麻痹和重症肌无力患者。该技术的优点是硅胶棒的弹性和可用性,以及形成眼睑皱襞和术后调整上睑位置的能力。
