| Item | Small-incision, minimal dissection | Traditional | Significance of difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meets criteria of ≤0.5 mm between eyelids with operated lids being 2 to 4 mm above the center of the pupil | 66.7% | 61.1% | NSD |
| ≤0.5 mm difference in eyelid height | 75.0% | 63.9% | NSD |
| Clinical decision for reoperation | 25.0% | 31.0% | NSD |
| Satisfactory eyelid contour | 97.6% | 78.4% | P = .01 |
| Mean surgical time per lid | 26.3 minutes | 56.6 minutes | P < .0001 |
NSD, nonsignificant difference: P> .05.
