Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of lateral rectus muscle re-recession and medial rectus muscle resection for treatment of postoperative exotropia.
To compare the outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus muscle re-recession and medial rectus muscle resection for treatment of recurrent or persistent exotropia. ⋯ Surgery on a single muscle can be used to treat moderate-angle recurrent or persistent exotropia. Unilateral re-recession of the lateral rectus muscle and medial rectus muscle resection have equivalent success rates.
