Abstract
Background: Currently, most surgeons favor Muller's muscle conjunctival resection as a treatment for mild-to-moderate ptosis, as this method is associated with fewer post-surgical complications.
Case presentation: This case series of six Iranian women aged between 15 and 65 (mean 43) years with mild-to-moderate ptosis treated at Negah Eye Hospital used a plasma scalpel (PLEXR™) for conjunctivo-Muller sublimation. A 1-4 area management strategy was applied, and margin reflex distance 1 measurements showed improvement from 1.58 mm pre-treatment to 3.66 mm after 6 months.
Conclusion: Seemingly, applying plasma technology to treat mild-to-moderate ptosis via conjunctivo-Muller muscle sublimation might be a promising alternative to more invasive surgical methods.
期刊介绍：
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
