The Müller muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) technique, initially introduced by Putterman and Urist in 1975, has gained popularity due to its rapid recovery time, absence of visible scarring, procedural simplicity, and relatively shallow learning curve. Traditionally, MMCR has been employed for the correction of minimal ptosis (2 mm or less). However, recent evidence suggests its applicability in cases of severe ptosis and as an adjunct to levator procedures for residual ptosis. In this letter, we aim to elucidate the application of a widely available 24-gauge cannula as a guide for the Putterman clamp. This technique facilitates surgical procedures without the need for additional assistance.
