Abstract EN
Objective: To study the efficacy of maximal levator resection in patients with [severe ptosis with poor levator function (LF).
Patients and methods: 31 patients with severe ptosis underwent maximal levator resection.
Palpebral fissure height and LF were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively.
Results: All patients showed an excellent reduction in ptosis with a single intervention resulting in a clear visual axis.
Palpebral fissure height improved from means (SD) 2.98 preoperatively to 7.70 postoperatively (P value < 0.001).
No patients underwent additional surgery because of cosmetic issues1.
All patients showed a marked, consistent, and lasting improvement in LF, going from mean (SD) 2.60 preoperatively to 7.82 postoperatively (P value < 0.001).
Conclusions: Maximal levator resection is an effective surgical technique in management of patients with severe ptosis with good cosmetic appearance in terms of ptosis reduction in the majority of cases and with a significant increase of the levator palpebrae superioris function
