  • Title: [Ptosis surgery: shortening the levator aponeurosis of Müller's muscle and the tarsus using an anterior approach].
    Author: Bruun D, Hatt M.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1990 May; 196(5):394-7. PubMed ID: 2195229.
    Abstract:
    In cases of moderate congenital ptosis, better lid elevation can be achieved by resection of the levator muscle through a skin incision, combined with tarsectomy and shortening of the superior tarsal muscle. The function of the levator muscle can thus be fully exploited.
