Sponsor's own description

Comparison of the results of levator resection operation with the use of fixed sutures technique in which the levator muscle is approached through skin incision and the muscle shortened and sutured directly to the tarsus then the skin crease reformed with interrupted sutures which pick up the underlying levator muscle versus the results with the use of adjustable sutures in which the suture passes through the levator muscle into the tarsal plate and out through the skin edge .the skin crease is formed separately so that adjusting the suture doesn't open the wound, the suture can be adjusted according to the result up to 4 days post operative.
