“…A recent large study showed an average MRD1 elevation of 2mm after undergoing a Fasanella-Servat procedure [2]. However, some patients in our series showed a large post-operative MRD1 improvement of >3-4mm.…”

“…Conventionally, the Fasanella-Servat operation has been employed for minimal ptosis with good levator function, and this is reflected in the published literature regarding outcomes of the Fasanella-Servat procedure [1][2][3][4][5]7,10]. We were curious regarding the utility of this operation in patients with moderate to severe ptosis, and we hereby present our experience with the Fasanella-Servat surgical repair of blepharoptosis in these patients.…”

“…However, the surgical technique, the proposed mechanism of action, and its indications have been challenged and modified on several occasions [2,[6][7][8]. The Fasanella-Servat approach was initially regarded as a form of levator resection [9].…”

“…Postoperative problems included dry eye symptoms (6/144 patients), contour abnormalities in 12 lids, and dermatochalasis in 10 lids. [15] In our study we also noted that maximum number of patients operated for Levator Resection and Sling surgery also achieved and maintained either a good or fair surgical outcome 6 months postoperatively. 2 patients (6.67%) in the Silicon sling surgery group had poor correction and these were taken up for resurgery.…”

AIM & OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study is to evaluate the functional and cosmetic outcome and compare the complications of various ptosis surgeries done for simple congenital ptosis at a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: 46 patients with 52 eyelids having undergone ptosis surgery for congenital simple blepharoptosis were included in our study. Patients of all age groups and either sex which post-operatively completed a follow-up period at 1, 3, 6 months were included in the study and grouped under four groups-levator resection, silicon sling, Fascia Lata sling, Fasanella Servat surgery. The postoperative outcome and complications were noted in all cases. RESULTS: Out of 52 eyelids operated for blepharoptosis, 45 cases (86.54%) had good, 5 (9.62%) had fair and 2 (4.35%) had poor post-operative outcome. Though on applying the chi square test there was no significant difference observed in the cosmetic and functional outcome between all the groups but the maximum number of complications was noted in the silicon sling group. CONCLUSION: With the selection of the right surgery depending on amount of ptosis and levator muscle action we could achieve good cosmetic correction and minimal complications in most of our cases.

“…5,8 Accordingly, respondent ASOPRS members appeared to take a relatively conservative approach to the issue, with only 53.4% of respondents not utilizing preoperative Schirmer testing. As might be expected, the majority of physicians performed some form of dry eye testing preoperatively, with 84.5% of surgeons that did not perform Schirmer testing utilizing some other form of dry eye evaluation preoperatively.…”
