This study found that using adjustable sutures with propofol anesthesia for strabismus surgery in adults is feasible and effective. The method allows for precise adjustments, leading to successful outcomes in adult strabismus treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Strabismus surgery often requires precise intraoperative adjustments.
  • Propofol offers advantages for inducing and maintaining anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and efficacy of the adjustable suture technique for strabismus surgery.
  • To evaluate the use of propofol-induced intravenous anesthesia during this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Seven adult patients with strabismus underwent surgery.
  • Anesthesia was induced and maintained using intravenously administered propofol.
  • Adjustable sutures were employed during the surgical procedure.

Main Results:

  • Patients regained consciousness approximately 2 minutes after propofol discontinuation.

  • Consciousness levels were adequate for intraoperative suture adjustments and cover-uncover testing.
  • Minor postoperative complications included nausea (3 patients) and vomiting (1 patient).

    • Conclusions:

    • The adjustable suture method combined with propofol anesthesia is a safe and effective option for adult strabismus surgery.
    • This technique facilitates precise intraoperative adjustments, enhancing surgical outcomes.
