• A retrospective clinical analysis of 69 of 118 patients with congenital blepharoptosis aged from 2 to 48, who underwent surgical corrections at the Department of Plastic Surgery of Lódź between 1977 and 2001, was reviewed. Included cases were analysed on the base of the type of primary defect, degree of ptosis, and surgical method. The aim of this study was to estimate aesthetic and functional results of surgical treatment in 39 patients corrected by Mustarde's modified method, in 17 by Mustarde's method, in 7 by Everbusch's method, in 4 by Blascovic's method, and in 2 by frontalis suspension. Comparable acceptable results of Mustarde's modified and Mustarde's method were achieved. Postoperatively 13 patients (18.8%) exhibited lagophthalmos.
