ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate whether the conjoint combined with fascial sheath( CFS) suspension can be used as an effective method for correction of moderate and severe ptosis. Methods Thirty-five patients (39 eyes) with moderate or severe ptosis were treated in our hospital from January 2014 to March 2017 by means of CFS suspension,frontalis suspension and shortening of levator palpebrae superior-is,and all the patients were followed up for 3～12 months. Results The CFS suspension and the other two operations appeared effective;and compared with the other two methods,the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The CFS suspension for the treatment of moderate and severe ptosis with a higher positive rate(95％) and the positive rate of the other two methods was 67％. In terms of complications,the CFS suspension showed eyelid dysraphism incidence rate was exposure keratitis occurred in 85. 7％ and entropion occurrence rate of 4. 7％;with the other two methods,the surgical eyelid dysraphism occurred in 100％ and the conjunctival prolapse occurred in 5. 6％. Conclusion The CFS suspension in correction of moderate and severe ptosis has the advantages of less trauma,less complications and good correction effect.
