Abstract

Purpose: To present the results of levator strengthening surgery in patients with ptosis due to different aetiologies. Material and Methods: Levator strengthening surgery was performed in 27 eyes of 23 patients with ptosis with good and moderate levator function. The mean age was 25 (range: 8-52) and mean follow-up was 7 months (range: 3-48 months). Results: Twentyone congenital ptotic eyes of 18 patients, 3 involutional ptotic eyes of 2 patients, one oculomotor palsy, one progressive external ophtalmoplegia and one Marcus-Gunn jaw-winking ptosis were included into the study. Surgical outcomes were successful in 18 eyes (%82), satisfactory in 2 eyes (%7) and unsuccessfull in 3 eyes (%11). Unsuccessful results were associated with low experience level and observed on first cases. Complications were asymmetric or double lid crease (7 eyes) and conjunctival prolapsus (one eye). Intraoperative pain was a problem in some patients. Conclusion: Levator strengthening surgery through skin approach is satisfactory in patients with ptosis with good or moderate levator function. Good sedation and analgesia support is recommended in cases with local anesthesia.

Özet

Amaç: Yaş grupları farklı ve değişik etyolojilere bağlı pitozisleri olan hastalara, cilt yoluyla yapılan levator güçlendirme cerrahisi sonuçlarını incelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Orta ve iyi levator fonksiyonlu, pitozisli 23 hastanın 27 gözüne cilt yoluyla levator güçlendirme cerrahisi uygulandı. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 25 (8-52 yaş), ortalama takip süresi 7 ay (3-48 ay)'dı. Bulgular: Onsekiz olgunun 21 gözünde konjenital, iki olgunun 3 gözünde senil, bir olguda 3. kranial sinir felcine bağlı, bir olguda progressif eksternal oftalmoplejiye bağlı pitozis, bir olguda Marcus-Gunn sendromu vardı. Cilt yoluyla levator güçlendirme cerrahisi uygulanan 27 gözün 22'sinde başarılı (%82), 2'sinde tatminkar (%7), 3'ünde başarısız (%11) sonuç elde edildi. Başarısız olgular genelde cerrahın başlangıçta- daha tecrübesiz olduğu olgulardı. Komplikasyon olarak 7 gözde hafif oranda çift-asimetrik kapak çizgisi veya düzensiz kontur, bir olguda konjonktiva prolapsusu gelişti. Lokal anestezi uygulanan hastaların bir kısmındaki ağrı hissi, ameliyatı kısmen güçleştiren bir problem oldu. Sonuç: Cilt yoluyla yapılan levator güçlendirme cerrahisi ile, orta-iyi levator fonksiyonu bulunan pitozisli olgularda, başarılı-tatmin edici sonuçlar alınmaktadır. Lokal anestezi uygulanan olgularda mümkünse anestezist eşliğinde iyi bir sistemik sedasyon analjezi desteği önerilir.
