Abstract

The authors studied retrospectively on the surgical results of modified Fasanella-Servat operation for blepharoptosis. The 58 patients underwent modified Fasanella-Servat operation for blepharoptosis and were followed for at least 6 months. We obtained 74.1% primary success rate in the 58 cases of blepharoptosis. The undercorrection, the most common complication, could be correctable by any other ptosis procedures such as levator resction. However, severe complications such as overcorrection and eyelid contour abnormalities were very rare. We also obtained good surgical results even in groups of moderate degree of ptosis and fair levator function which had not been indicated for Fasanella-Servat operation in general.
