Adjustable versus non-adjustable sutures for strabismus.
BACKGROUND Strabismus, or squint, can be defined as a deviation from perfect ocular alignment and can be classified in many ways according to its aetiology and presentation. Treatment can be broadly divided into medical and surgical options, with a variety of surgical techniques being available, including the use of adjustable or non-adjustable sutures for the extraocular muscles. There exists ...
متن کاملADJUSTABLE SUTURE IN STRABISMUS SURGERY
Adjustable suture in strabismus surgery is a way to get accurate alignment of the eyes after operation. This technique is used in cooperative patients, being either adults or children. We report the result of this technique in 120 patients, 70 with esotropia and 50 exotropia. The amount of deviation was between 20 and 60 prismdiopters. The patients were mostly adults and teenagers. and the...
متن کاملImproved ocular alignment with adjustable sutures in adults undergoing strabismus surgery.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether outcomes of strabismus surgery are improved by using the adjustable suture technique and to determine which subgroups of strabismus patients benefit most from the adjustable suture technique. DESIGN A retrospective chart review. PARTICIPANTS A total of 535 adults who underwent strabismus surgery between 1989 and 2010. METHODS Success was defined as ≤10 prism di...
متن کاملDrift of ocular alignment following strabismus surgery. Part 2: using adjustable sutures.
AIM To measure the drift of ocular alignment following strabismus surgery utilising adjustable sutures. METHODS 106 patients, aged 12 to 84 years, underwent adjustable suture strabismus surgery with a follow-up of 0.5-4 years (mean 24.3 months). RESULTS For all subjects measured on distant fixation, there was a mean undercorrection drift of 8.3 (SD 2.3) prism dioptres (PD) from week 1 to 48...
متن کاملAdjustable sutures in strabismus surgery: why surgeons either love them or hate them after three decades.
Strabismus surgeons continually seek to achieve the best results from their surgery, which means stable motor alignment and sensory improvement with a minimum number of procedures. But the tables and algorithms that we employ for the number of muscles to be included in the surgery, and for the doses of surgery, are often not appropriate for difficult or unpredictable cases. The ability to modif...
