A simple levator resection operation. 1975

S A Fox

A simple procedure for identification and isolation of the levator muscle is presented. With this technique the conjunctiva need not be cut from its tarsal connection. No extra sutures are used to create a lid fold. It is emphasized again that the criterion for the amount of levator resection is not the degree of ptosis but the amount of levator action.
