Abstract
Objective: To present marginal reflex distance (MRD-1) outcomes based on intra-operative quantification of levator aponeurosis advancement.
Methods: Forty-eight patients with unilateral aponeurotic ptosis underwent anterior levator aponeurosis advancement. Distance of advancement intra-operatively was compared with MRD-1 outcomes at the immediate postoperative sitting, approximately 1 week, and 1 month period. Surgical success was defined as a symmetric MRD-1 or an MRD-1 within 1 millimeter of the contralateral eyelid.
Results: Most MRD-1 exhibited the following trends: 1) initial decrease at about 1 week and increase at 1 month (n = 11), 2) initial increase at about 1 week with levelling at 1 month (n = 8), and 3) increasing through time (n = 7). Success rate significantly decreased through time (p = .0464). The change in proportion of successful and failed surgeries was insignificant. Surgical revision rate was 10.4%.
Conclusion: Levator aponeurosis advancement distances do not correlate with MRD-1 outcomes linearly. MRD-1 exhibited stability over time with a satisfactory success rate at 1 month.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
