Internal Ptosis Repair by Muller’s Muscle Resection

This instructional video on internal ptosis repair through Müller’s muscle resection demonstrates a refined surgical technique for correcting mild to moderate ptosis in patients with good Müller’s muscle function. It is particularly valuable for ophthalmology residents, oculoplastic surgery fellows, and practicing surgeons. By clearly illustrating the key steps—eyelid eversion with a precisely placed traction suture, careful isolation of the Müller’s muscle, precise shortening of the muscle by a measured amount, and closure of the conjunctival defect—the video provides a comprehensive educational resource.
