Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of single-triangle technique with a frontalis sling using silicone rod to repair moderate and severe ptosis. Methods: Patients with ptosis indicated for frontalis sling were treated at National Eye Hospital from 7/2021 to 9/2022. Patients were performed single-triangle technique with a frontalis sling using silicone rod. The surgical results were evaluated after 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 18.2±16.2 years. Among 38 eyes, the majority of patients had severe ptosis (76.3%) and there was no case of mild ptosis. 2 weeks after surgery, MRD1 increased to 3.67±0.48 mm. MRD1 continued to increase at 1 month after surgery and unchanged at 3 months follow up. Conclusion: Single-triangle technique with a frontalis sling is an effective method both in terms of function and aesthetics for moderate and severe ptosis.
