radiation-related wounds challenge surgeons in all disciplines of surgery. wound-healing complications are commonplace, and solutions for reconstruction are limited. muscle and musculocutaneous flaps have improved this situation. but the question is, does previous radiation of the muscle to be transposed affect the outcome? 143 consecutive previously irradiated patients treated with muscle or m...

purpose: compaison of excyclotorsion induced by horizontal transposition of vertical rectus muscles versus vertical transposition of horizontal rectus muscles in rabbit eyes. methods: in this exprimental study, group 1 underwent full tendon nasal transposition of the superior rectus and full tendon temporal transposition of the inferior rectus (10 adult rabbits); group 2 underwent superior tran...

purpose : to evaluate the results of anterior and nasal transposition (ant) of the inferior oblique muscle (io) in patients with the io muscle overaction methods : this retrospective case series included patients with io muscles overaction, in whom ant of the io muscle was performed. in patient with simultaneous horizontal deviation, horizontal strabismus surgery was also performed. they were e...

purpose: to report a case of partial agenesis of the inferior rectus muscle in a child who was presented because of ocular misalignment and a deficient depression of the right eye. patient and findings: the patient was a 4-year-old girl. preoperative ct scans confirmed the clinical diagnosis of inferior rectus agenesis. the patient underwent augmented transposition of horizontal recti muscles w...

purpose: to evaluate the results of augmented vertical rectus muscle transposition with intraoperative botulinum toxin for complete and chronic sixth nerve palsy. methods: during a 10 years period (1381-1390) all patients with chronic and complete sixth nerve palsy, and contracted medial rectus (mr) underwent augmented vertical rectus muscle transposition with botulimum toxin injection into the...

PURPOSE To examine the characteristics of excyclotropia correction through surgery on the inferior rectus muscle in patients with thyroid eye disease. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational study at a single institution. We reviewed 36 patients who had undergone unilateral inferior rectus muscle recession, with or without nasal inferior rectus muscle transposition. The following fact...

Purpose To report a case of inferior rectus muscle hypoplasia with esotropia, which was treated successfully by resection and anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle. Observations A 1-year-old boy presented with esotropia. He had esotropia of 15-30° and intermittent left hypertropia. At the age of 3 years, the alternate prism cover test showed esotropia of 35Δ and left hypertrop...

Nasal transposition of the inferior rectus (IR) muscle, which is transposed nasally with the insertion parallel to the spiral of Tillaux, could correct excyclotropia. However, as far as we are aware, there have been no reports examining the surgical effects of this procedure in multiple cases. Therefore, we examined the surgical effects of IR nasal transposition in 135 cases with acquired troch...

OBJECTIVE To report the effect of weakening the superior rectus and inferior oblique (IO) muscles on ocular rotations. DESIGN Observational case series. We reviewed a 10-year period of medical records of consecutive patients who underwent bilateral 5- to 11-mm (mean, 8.0 mm; SD, 1.1 mm) superior rectus muscle recessions combined with an IO muscle recession, myectomy, or anterior transposition...
