Use of 'Trocar Site Closure Device' for Frontalis Brow Suspension.

Ptosis correction by Fox Pentagon technique of frontalis brow suspension, using 'trocar site closure device' for placement of banked fascia lata is presented. The use of this device was found to be safe, secure, smooth, and stable. It has a gently tapered cutting upper edge and a blunt front, and is less traumatic as compared to the conventional Wright's fascia needle or the 18 gauge needle which are sharper and could cause an inadvertent and relatively more damage to the eyelids' delicate tissues. The surgery can be performed quickly with this single-use device and it provides a good grasp for holding the fascia lata during the manoeuvres, forming the desired pentagon.
