A fast and easy-to-perform noninvasive Muller’s muscle sublimation technique using plasma technology for treatment of mild-to-moderate ptosis: a case report
Abstract Background Currently, most surgeons favor Muller’s muscle conjunctival resection as a treatment for mild-to-moderate ptosis, as this method is associated with fewer post-surgical complications. Case presentation This case series of six Iranian women aged between 15 and 65 (mean 43) years wi...

| Summary: | Abstract Background Currently, most surgeons favor Muller’s muscle conjunctival resection as a treatment for mild-to-moderate ptosis, as this method is associated with fewer post-surgical complications. Case presentation This case series of six Iranian women aged between 15 and 65 (mean 43) years with mild-to-moderate ptosis treated at Negah Eye Hospital used a plasma scalpel (PLEXR™) for conjunctivo-Muller sublimation. A 1–4 area management strategy was applied, and margin reflex distance 1 measurements showed improvement from 1.58 mm pre-treatment to 3.66 mm after 6 months. Conclusion Seemingly, applying plasma technology to treat mild-to-moderate ptosis via conjunctivo-Muller muscle sublimation might be a promising alternative to more invasive surgical methods. |
