Method for correcting ptosis using a loops from the fascia lata of the thigh

Abstract

Derby (Americ. Journ. Of. Ophth. 1928) proposes an original method for correcting ptosis with a ligamentous fascia loop. Above the ciliary edge, the top, the eyelid is incised immediately to the cartilage. The upper edge of the incision is somewhat separated. Then, with a double-sided knife, on both sides of the midline, 2 channels are made subcutaneously, ending above the eyebrow. A strip cut from the wide fascia of the thigh (7-8 cm long and 1 cm wide) is passed in the form of a loop through these channels. The ends of the loop are brought out into the holes above the eyebrow, where they are sewn to the frontal muscle and skin. One eye patch for a week.
