Abstract:

We analyzed literature data on materials used in surgical treatment of upper eyelid ptosis. Effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of each material are considered. Any material for surgical treatment of eyelid ptosis should correspond to periorbital anatomical features and cause the least number of complications requiring repeated surgical intervention. Among all materials, autologous and allogeneic fascia lata, as well as Gore-Tex implant, deserve special attention. These materials ensure the lowest rates of adverse reactions. Currently, searching for optimal material in surgical treatment of ptosis remains relevant, and there is a need for further research.
