Surgical technique combining vertical transposition and horizontal plication for mixed deviations
A retrospective case series, assessed adult cases with horizontal and vertical strabismus who had undergone unilateral vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscles during a recession-plication over a three-year period. A single surgeon performed all 15 procedures. Postoperative measurements were...
Disc-fovea angle measurements for objective cyclotorsion review
The author measured the disc-fovea angle (DFA) in 249 healthy people (81 male, 168 female) as part of a retrospective study of 44 to 70-year-old adults. These were grouped as (1) aged 44 / 45 years, (2) aged 59-70 years,...
BTA injection to treat convergence insufficiency
The outcomes of patients with convergence insufficiency (CI) treatment with botulinum toxin A (BTA) in one or both lateral rectus muscles are reported. This was a retrospective study of 23 patients; eight males, 15 female, mean age 59 years (range...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) enables perfusion monitoring of the anterior segment during strabismus surgery: a study on the horizontal rectus muscles
Forty-four eyes with horizontal strabismus surgery involving medial and / or lateral rectus muscle detachment were recruited. The perfusion in the adjacent paralimbal and iris tissue was monitored with LSCI technique, by using a PeriCam PSI NR System. An infrared...
Early postoperative angle for prediction of surgical success for exotropia
In this study, the authors assessed the relationship between the initial postoperative deviation and surgical outcomes in adult exotropia undergoing unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection. The study included 93 patients (51 female); 26 with residual exo, 53...
Features and outcomes of pulled-in-two syndrome
Pulled-in-two (PIT) syndrome is a sudden rupture of the extraocular muscle during strabismus surgery, typically with minimal tension intraoperatively without excessive force. This is a rare occurrence and this study reports cases from a single centre over a seven-year period....
Factors associated with inferior oblique transposition surgery and occurrence of anti-elevation syndrome
The purpose of this study was to correlate the frequency of anti-elevation syndrome (AES) with the magnitude of the anterior transposition of the inferior oblique. This was a retrospective study of 312 eyes of 170 patients. Mean age at surgery...
Description of surgical modification for heavy eye syndrome
For heavy eye syndrome, these authors report a modification to facilitate approximation of the widely separated muscles using a combination of zip-up and hand-over-hand manoeuvres. Ten patients underwent this surgery with unification of the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles....
Reporting the development and pilot use of fixable surgical instruments
This study reports the development of instruments to substitute traction sutures during strabismus surgery and to act in place of surgical assistance. Three types of instruments were developed: (1) fixable multi-functional forceps; (2) fixable muscle hook; and (3) fixable retractor....
