ABSTRACT

Objective: to evaluate the therapeutic results in the surgical correction of eye illnesses, with Gore-tex and with the modified conventional surgical technique of the frontalis suspension.
Methods: prospective and descriptive study in a series of 16 cases; 7 with ptosis, 5 with strabismus and 4 with inferior palpebral retraction. For the correction of the retraction and the ptosis, some Gore-tex fragments were used, and suture with this material for correction of strabismus and in some cases with ptosis. Two Gore-tex mm were placed per each mm of retraction and ptosis. Two prismatic dioptries were corrected per each mm of retroinsertion of the frontalis muscle.
Results: a total of 13 cases (87 %) had satisfactory results. Most of the patients operated on with the modified frontal suspension technique, reduced the amount of ptosis mm up to the palpebral physiological level.
Conclusions: the results were satisfactory in most of the operated patients by using the Gore-tex and the modified frontalis suspension technique.
