drooping of the upper eyelid. It may be unilateral or bilateral, total or partial, or congenital or acquired. Congenital ptosis is caused by incomplete development or absence of the muscle that lifts the upper lid. The condition is treated by surgery. ...
Our goal is to use electronic health record (EHR) time logs and the cost per unit of each resource to calculate the complete cost profile of upper eyelid surgery using time-driven activity based costing (TDABC) analysis. The TDABC analysis uses a bottom up, process based approach to ...
Treatment for mild-to-moderate congenital ptosis is to perform levator resection surgery, wherein 12–18 mm of the distal levator and the underlying Müller's muscle is resected and the cut end resewn to the superior border of tarsus. This effectively shortens the muscle, resulting in a higher...
Discussion: The use of polypropylene provides encouraging results in ptosis surgery, while also offering the advantage of being low cost and more available. Its use in developing countries deserves special attention.doi:10.1016/j.jfo.2019.07.008J.P. Théra...
All patients were signed informed consent forms prior to surgery, aligning with The Declaration of Helsinki guidelines for ethical considerations and patient safety. Collected specimens were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at − 80 °C refrigerator. Total RNA was isolated using ...

Methods: This retrospective study on healthcare costs of 3 eye diseases was estimated from the provider's perspective employing a standard costing approach....
Ptosis surgery may be performed alone or in conjunction with other oculoplastic procedures. Ptosis surgery may be performed under general anesthesia, but paralysis of the eyelid muscles makes postoperative prediction of the final eyelid position extremely difficult and postoperative success less predictable ...
