Topical Anesthesia in Children With Intraoperative Adjustable Strabismus Surgery.
To evaluate strabismus surgery with intraoperative adjustment of sutures under topical anesthesia in children. ⋯ Strabismus surgery with intraoperative suture adjustment under topical anesthesia in children is a tolerable procedure with encouraging outcomes, representing an alternative to general anesthesia in well-selected children. Clinical evaluation of children and parents is fundamental to predict a likely poor collaboration of the child during surgery, which, if present, would require surgery under general anesthesia.
