METHOD OF SPARING BLEPHAROPTOSIS MICROSURGERY Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to ophthalmology and can be applied in surgical treatment of blepharoptosis. Method lies in cutting upper eyelid skin, separation from underlying tissues of circular eye muscle, exposing cartilage and levator. Levator is divided into two parts, which are sewn near their place of detachment. After that, muscles are cut off from the place of detachment and transferred on symmetrically located sections near cartilage base, and fixed to new place of attachment. Sutures are applied on eyelid skin. It is also possible to carry out method of sparing blepharoptosis microsurgery during which dosed impact on group of levator muscles is performed. After that, levator is tightened by transfer of places of its attachment to upper eyelid cartilage base in projection of anatomic location.

EFFECT: application of claimed group of inventions makes it possible to reduce operation trauma by dosed impact on levator muscles without impact on adjacent tissues, as well as due to enhancement of levator with preservation of its morphologic structure, makes it possible to reduce volume of scarring in places of suture application.
