Abstract:

 Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a modified conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) suspension
technique incorporating tri-plane dissection and double omega suture for the correction of severe blepharoptosis, and to establish a standardized surgical protocol. Methods In this retrospective cohort study,151 patients (177 eyes) with severe blepharoptosis treated between August 2023 and December 2024 were enrolled. Participants were divided into two groups, a conventional CFS suspension group (75 patients,85 eyes) and a modified CFS group (76 patients,92 eyes) that underwent tri-plane dissection combined with double omega suture technique. Surgical efficacy, eyelid retraction, lagophthalmos, complication rates, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Results The modified technique demonstrated significantly higher overall correction efficacy (96.74% vs 87.06%;χ² = 5.697,P=0.017), lower complication rate (χ²=4.247,P=0.039), and complete avoidance of conjunctival prolapse. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the modified group (93.42% vs 81.33%;χ² =5.008,P=0.0252). Conclusion The modified CFS technique utilizing tri-plane dissection and double omega suture represents a safe, effective, and standardized approach for severe blepharoptosis correction. This innovative method enhances surgical outcomes through refined anatomical dissection, biomechanical optimization, and suture technique innovation, demonstrating significant clinical applicability.
