Summary:Putterman clamp, a muscle clamp, is commonly used in conjunctival müllerectomies. We report 3 cases of senile ptosis repaired with levator muscle resection using the Putterman clamp. The redundant levator aponeurosis was removed with electrocautery after clamping with the Putterman clamp. The levator muscle was refixed to the tarsus with three 4-0 Vicryl stitches after adjusting the height of the eyelid fissure. No intraoperative difficulties were encountered. Ecchymosis and edema were limited in the immediate postoperative period. No complications were noted during the follow-up. The benefits of using the Putterman clamp in levator muscle resection are illustrated in these cases.

These two surgeons were forced to speedily correct a mild ptosis in a child with ongoing transfusion needs due to anaemia in 1960.…”

We revisit the evolution of posterior approach ptosis surgery. We address the early attempts at ptosis surgery, assess the more modern approach by de Blaskovics, followed by the division into “open sky” and “closed” techniques. The simultaneous developments occurring in America and Europe are described, along with refinement of surgical approaches such as conjunctival‐sparing posterior approach ptosis surgery.
