Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcalvarial suture fixation during endoscopic repair of brow ptosis. Design: Case series. Settings: A private ambulatory surgicenter and a Veterans Affairs Hospital. Participants: Fifty patients with brow ptosis with minimum follow-up of 12 months. Results: Patients had improvement in brow position in all cases. There were no adverse effects of performing cortical tunnels and suture fixation. Conclusion: Transcalvarial suture fixation can be performed safely with good to excellent results and avoids the need for screw or plate fixation.
