چکیده

The primitive strabismus surgeries, myotomies and tenotomies, were performed simply by sectioning the muscle or its tendon without any suture. Such surgeries were usually performed in just one eye both in small and in large angles with not really predictable results. In 1922, Jameson introduced a new surgery technique using sutures and fixing the sectioned muscle to the sclera, increasing surgery predictability. For the esotropias he carried out no more than 5 mm recession of the medial rectus, which became a rule for the surgeons who followed him, which made it impossible from then on to correct large-angle esotropias with a monocular surgery. Rodriguez-Vásquez, in 1974, exceeded the 5 mm parameter by proposing large recessions of the medial recti (6 to 9 mm) to treat the Ciancia syndrome with good results. The authors revised the literature year after year with the purpose of comparing the several works and concluded that monocular recession-resection surgery may be a feasible option for the surgical treatment of large-angle esotropias.

[Monocular surgery for large-angle esotropias: a new paradigm].

PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of monocular surgery in the treatment of large-angle esotropias through large recessions of the medial rectus (6 to 10 mm) and large resections of the lateral rectus (8 to 10 mm). METHODS 46 patients were submitted to surgery. They had esotropias of 50Delta or more that were relatively comitant. The patients were operated under general anesthesia and rec...

Results of Monocular Surgery Under Peribulbar Anesthesia for Large-Angle Horizontal Strabismus

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of monocular surgery under peribulbar anesthesia for large-angle horizontal strabismus. INTRODUCTION Monocular surgery may preserve some muscles if a repeat operation is required, may help to avoid the exposure of the dominant eye to the inherent risks of a surgical procedure and may reduce surgical time. METHODS We evaluated ninety-two consecutive patients...

Effect of monocular surgery for large-angle horizontal deviation in adults.

BACKGROUND Surgical success rate of strabismus is variable. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of monocular strabismus surgery for adults with large angle deviation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study was that of a retrospective interventional case series. A total of 48 consecutive adult patients with large-angle socially-noticeable strabismus underwent clinical evaluation for squint surgery. T...

Surgery with intraoperative botulinum toxin-A injection for the treatment of large-angle horizontal strabismus: a pilot study

Some patients with large-angle strabismus may refuse or may not meet the criteria for binocular surgical correction. A second option for these patients involves a monocular procedure, which can be performed under peribulbar anesthesia and offers certain advantages (1). Improved surgical outcomes for conventional procedures may enhance the effectiveness of monocular surgery. In theory, this enha...
