Over a three-year period (2003-2006), 31 operations for congenital ptosis were performed in 25 children at the Bonum Scientific and Practical Center. Twenty-four patients underwent transcutaneous levator resection and one underwent a suspension procedure. Outcomes were good in 20 cases, satisfactory in six and poor in five. The absence of serious complications and the sustained cosmetic and functional results after levator resection demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in children.
