Spanish term or phrase: tecnica de reposición del músculo elevado
En la exploración se valoró la presencia de una ptosis de párpado superior izquierdo que tapaba el eje visual, con MRD (distancia de margen palpebral superior al reflejo corneal central) de 0 mm.
Dada dicha exploración, se recomendó corrección quirúrgica de la ptosis izquierda.
Dicha cirugía fue realizada mediante anestesia local con sedación con técnica de reposición del músculo elevado en párpado superior izquierdo.

I have this as "...the elevated muscle repositioning technique," but I can't find reference to exactly that.

Open to your thoughts.

English translation:levator muscle advancement technique
Explanation:
The attachment of the levator muscle into the cephalad portion of the levator muscle into the cephalad portion of the levator aponeurosis can be identified and easily dissected in order to perform the procedure of detachment and advancement to the tarsal plate. This procedure for ptosis has been successful in management in moderate to severe ptosis and in some cases has actually increased the muscle function, thereby enhancing the result.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Not sure though about resection versus reposition. Again, the original does probably refer to the Reinserción de la aponeurosis del músculo elevador rather than to Resección del músculo elevador.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Levator advancement sounds very close to the technique of Reinserción de la aponeurosis del músculo elevador. External levator advancement: https://www.aao.org/bcscsnippetdetail.aspx?id=7ac50ac4-1aa3-...
