ABSTRACT
In this prospective study, 208 cases of ptosis were repaired using dried preserved fascia lata as suspension material for frontalis sling procedure during 1990 to 1996. The average age at operation was 9.2 years with the range of 2 months to 56 years. One hundred forty one patients (91.0%) of the 155 patients with follow-up of more than 3 months and 99 (90.8%) of the 109 patients with follow-up of more than 6 months showed satisfactory results respectively. Among 12 unsatisfactory cases six patients underwent reoperation and achieved satisfactory results. Exposure keratitis was the most common complication (39.4%)but most of them were transient. The authors report frontalis sling operation using preserved fascia lata with 96.3% of success rate with few complications.
