Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and cosmetic effects of suprabrow single-stab (SBSS) surgery to traditional 3-stab incision frontalis sling surgery. Methods: From November 2018 to October 2020, all patients who presented to the outpatient department of ophthalmology at VSSIMSAR, Burla, were diagnosed with simple congenital ptosis with poor levator function (≤4mm). The current study includes 68 cases of congenital ptosis evaluated at VSSIMSAR in Burla, Odisha. Results: In terms of functional outcome indicators, the study and control groups were comparable at all points in time. When the cosmetic outcomes were compared, the study group performed considerably better than the control group (P = 3.092 x 10 in adults and P = 4.113 x 10 in children, Mann-Whitney U test), owing to less scarring and a lower number of suprabrow scars.
