“…[1][2][3] Different techniques and a variety of materials have been used. [4][5][6] Most synthetic materials do not have adequate tissue incorporation and the results are typically less satisfactory in the long term. 7 The synthetic macromesh material Mersilene was first reported by Downes and Collin 8 in 1989, as a suspending material in ptosis surgery.…”

“…24 Many organic and inorganic materials have been proposed for use in frontalis suspension, including skin and muscle, 25 autologous and homologous fascia lata, 26 temporal fascia, 27 umbilical vein from a conserved placenta, 28 and long palmar tendon, 29 as well as Supramid, 30 Gore-Tex, 11 Mersilene, 31 Prolene, 32 expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, 33 and silastic bands. 34 In regards to inorganic materials, there is always the concern that these can lead to the formation of foreign-body granulomas, infection, or extrusion. 26 According to literature, 35 non-autogenous materials 1 10 12 0 1 1 2 28 22 9 12 10 13 2 1 2 1 3 0 1 0 2 2 9 2 3 1 0 1 3 1 0 1 3 3 14 12,5 0 2 1 2 32 25 12 16 13 16 4 1 4 1 4 À1 2 0 2 31 25 11 14 12 15 5 1 4 1 3 1 3 1 2 3 are known to have higher ptosis recurrence rate (20-35%, depending on the material used and the follow-up period) and, moreover, a higher exposure keratopathy, infection and granuloma formation rates.…”

“…Payr [4] first reported the brow suspension using fascia lata, and this was further pioneered by Crawford [5]. The technique has since been extensively modified employing different sling materials including autogenous (fascia lata [5][6][7], palmaris longus [8]) and synthetic (monofilament nylon [9], mersilene mesh [8,[10][11][12], PTFE [9,[13][14][15], Prolene [16] and silicone [17][18][19]). Various suture configurations have also been described including the double triangle [5,20,21], double rhomboid [22], pentagon [12,19,23,24] and single loop [25].…”

“…The authors concluded that anchorage of the SM to tarsus may be indicated in children with a known history of atopy, allergy or reduced vision. However, Goldberger et al [18] in their series of 12 adult eyelids described the use of silicone rods in a bi-rhomboid configuration. They argue that due to the significant width of the silicon rod, cheese-wiring should be prevented and thus tarsal fixation is not required.…”
