摘要
A variety of materials are currently available for use in brow suspension ptosis surgery when an alternative to autogenous fascia lata is indicated. We describe the use of a Mersilene mesh sling, developed to overcome the problems of failure and extrusion commonly associated with substitute suspensory materials. The results and follow up in 23 cases of blepharoptosis are presented. Our findings suggest that the Mersilene mesh sling has a definite place in ptosis management; we currently use this sling for all cases in which autogenous fascia lata is considered inappropriate. © 1990, College of Ophthalmologists.
