PURPOSE: To examine the outcome of levator muscle recession with adjustable sutures for correcting upper eyelid retraction in thyroid eye disease.
METHODS: All patients treated at Haukeland University Hospital between 2001 and 2011 were invited to participate in a follow-up examination. Preoperative measurements were obtained from medical records. The following parameters were recorded: eyelid aperture, the distance from limbus to eyelid margin, vertical motility of the eyelid in up- and downgaze, lagophthalmos, proptosis, vertical motility of the eye, and strabismus. Symmetry and eyelid contour were evaluated from photographs. Results were categorized as good, acceptable or unacceptable.
RESULTS: Sixty-four out of a total of 80 patients attended the follow-up examination. Six were excluded from further analysis due to relapse of their thyroid eye disease with increased inflammation. Among the 58 remaining patients, a good result was observed in 34 patients, an acceptable result in 19 and an unacceptable result in 5. Lagophthalmos was seen in 30% of the lids preoperatively and in 7% postoperatively. A second procedure was performed in 13/80 patients, in 6 because of under-correction and in 7 because of ptosis. Wound infection occurred in 2 patients.
CONCLUSION: Levator recession with adjustable sutures can be used to correct any degree of retraction. Good results can be obtained, but the procedure is time-consuming, and patients must be informed about the risk for reoperation.
