Abstract

10 patients of congenital simple ptosis having 3 to 5 mm of ptosis with variable levator action were operated. All the patients showed a good response of lid lift after instillation of phenyl ephrine drops showing the activity of Muller's muscle. With this technique the lagophthalmos was minimal and good lid folds were formed in all cases. The skin muscle lamina was not excised and was utilized for formation of lid folds which were equal in depth and dynamic in nature. However, the lid lag which is an unavoidable complication of any ptosis surgery was present in the present technique also.

[Lifting and blepharoplasty].

The term face lifting enconpasses a variety of surgical procedures. Their goal is to obtain a rejuvenated look: frontal lift, temporal lift, cervico facial lift. The mask lift tends to a more radical modification of the upper third and mind third of the face. Its indications, with the psychological counterpart must be cautiously decided. The video endoscopy has recently modified and reduced the importance of the incision in frontal and mask lift. The blepharoplasties may be performed separately or, in combination with a face lift. The upper blepharoplasties rejunevate the look. The lower blepharoplasties are mostly indicated in baggy eyelids.

The tarsectomy operation of A.P.L. Gillet de Grandmont (1837-1894) and its periodic rediscovery.

During the past two centuries, several methods of ptosis repair have been described and refined, but each method has typically been subject to cycles of popularity, neglect and reincarnation. Repair of ptosis through partial resection of the tarsus is one such example. Although Sir William Bowman included tarsectomy with his historic levator resections, the French ophthalmologist, A.P.L. Gillet de Grandmont was the first to specifically emphasize resection of tarsus for the correction of ptosis. Yet contemporary advocates of tarsectomy for ptosis repair have generally failed to recognize Gillet de Grandmont's contribution and his role in the history of ptosis surgery. For this reason, a review of this subject is presented.
