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.
