ABSTRACT

Introduction: The palpebral ptosis is defined as the fall of higher eyelid. According the millimeters of this type of fall it is classified in slight, moderate and severe.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the Supramaximal technique in the repair of moderate and severe palpebral ptosis.

Material and Methods: 95 patients were studied in a first cut, receiving treatment with the Supramaximal or Suspension to frontal. To determine the therapeutically effectiveness a simple-blind randomized clinical trial was made. The effectiveness was assessed as regards fall of high eyelid, height of palpebral fold, distance of border reflex and satisfaction of the patient. Results: The mean age was of 59, 35 years old. There was an average of female sex and of white race. The 51.6% of study patients have a severe ptosis. The therapeutically effectiveness of the Supramaximal was higher to Suspension to frontal (96.7% y 86.2%) respectively

Conclusions : The Supramaximal as a surgical technique is more efficacious than the Suspension one to frontal in the correction of moderate and severe higher palpebral ptosis.
