Abstract:
Presently poster presented our experience in the treatment of palpebraL incompetence because of the facial nerve paralysis by means of gold weight superior lid implantation.
We described the form of election of the precise weight, as well as the surgical technique, and our experience in 18 patients treated in the last two years:
11 patients (61,1%) had good functional and aesthetic results; 3 (16,6%) had good functional, but not aesthetic- palpebral ptosis - improvement; and 4 (22,2%) need gold wieght remotion due to exposure and/ or muscle elevator fatigue.
We considered that an adequate valuation of the precise weight, keeping in mind the muscle elevator phenomenon and the lapsed time from the instauration of the paralysis should offer an better rate of successes.
