Description
Summary:Objective To evaluate the long-term effect of the Muller's Muscle-Conjunctival Resection (MMCR) procedure on patient's quality of life. Methods This retrospective study included patients that underwent MMCR surgery for eyelid ptosis repair at our institution between the years 2016–2018 and had at least 3 months postoperative follow up. All patients completed the 18-questions post-interventional, validated, Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) questionnaire via telephone interview. Results 50 patients were included in the study group. The mean MRD1 measurement before ptosis repair surgery was 1.65 mm (± 0.82), with significantly higher MRD1 after a long post-operatively period, of 3.2 mm (± 1.03) (Matched pairs, p  <  0.001 ). The mean total GBI score was 57.48 (± 4.72) out of 90, after an average follow up period of 712 days. Conclusions The MMCR eyelid ptosis repair surgery has a positive, long-term effect on patient’s quality of life. Good patient selection for specific type of ptosis surgery, based on pre-operative clinical characteristics, can result good outcome with high satisfaction rates.
