Abstract:
Background: The objective of this study is to establish a potential correlation between postoperative improvement in upper eyelid ptosis, measured by the marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1), and the immediate postoperative degrees of lagophthalmos (IPDL). The established correlation is then used to assess whether IPDL can be used as a reliable indicator of successful treatment of eyelid ptosis. Methods: This retrospective study involved 19 patients, aged 1 to 11, with a total of 28 eyes affected by ptosis, who underwent surgery under general anesthesia at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022. We monitored the MRD1 of the patients for over six months postoperatively and measured the IPDL. Results: After ptosis correction surgery, no statistically significant correlation was observed between the improvement in MRD1 and IPDL. Furthermore, the degree of postoperative eyelid ptosis improvement was found to vary and was not consistently sustained, attributable to a range of factors. Conclusions: Our study did not establish a statistically significant correlation between IPDL and ptosis improvement as measured by MRD1. Further research is needed to draw definitive conclusions about their correlation.
摘要:
背景:本研究的目的是建立上眼睑下垂术后改善之间的潜在相关性,由边缘反射距离1(MR1)测量,和术后即刻眼角(IPDL)。然后将建立的相关性用于评估IPDL是否可以用作成功治疗眼睑下垂的可靠指标。方法:这项回顾性研究包括19例患者,1至11岁,共有28只眼受下垂影响,2018年1月至2022年12月在首尔国立大学Bundang医院接受了全身麻醉手术。我们在术后6个月监测患者的MRD1,并测量IPDL。结果:上睑下垂矫正手术后,MRD1和IPDL的改善之间没有观察到统计学上显著的相关性.此外,发现术后眼睑下垂改善的程度各不相同,并且没有持续,可归因于一系列因素。结论:我们的研究没有建立IPDL和通过MRD1测量的眼睑下垂改善之间的统计学显着相关性。需要进一步的研究才能得出关于它们相关性的明确结论。
