An interventional study of levator muscle resection with fixed sutures technique and Levator muscle resection with adjustable sutures technique in Blepharoptosis, sponsored by Assiut University. Status unknown at 1 site in Egypt. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-05-11.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Comparison of the results of levator resection operation with the use of fixed sutures technique in which the levator muscle is approached through skin incision and the muscle shortened and sutured directly to the tarsus then the skin crease reformed with interrupted sutures which pick up the underlying levator muscle versus the results with the use of adjustable sutures in which the suture passes through the levator muscle into the tarsal plate and out through the skin edge .the skin crease is formed separately so that adjusting the suture doesn't open the wound, the suture can be adjusted according to the result up to 4 days post operative.
58 studies on the registry are indexed under Blepharoptosis; 16 are open to participants now.

The cosmetic appearance
Symmetry of the two eyelids was calculated based on the difference in the margin reflex distance between them in the primary position of gaze. The results were classified into good, fair, and poor
