Frontalis sling surgery - pediatric versus adult population: characteristics and outcomes
Frontalis sling surgery varies between adult and pediatric patients regarding etiology, preoperative findings, surgical approach, and complications. Adults experienced higher rates of complications such as sling extrusion and dry eye. Moreover, an increased number of previous sling surgeries was associated with a rise in postoperative complications such as suture dehiscence, extrusion, and granuloma formation. Consequently, frontalis sling procedures should be regarded as a last resort for ptosis correction in adults due to the elevated risk of complications.
