Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Strabismus Management

Background:

  • Paralytic strabismus significantly impacts visual function.
  • Existing surgical options for muscle palsy may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified Hummelsheim procedure for paralytic strabismus.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this surgical modification.

Main Methods:

  • Eight patients with paralytic strabismus underwent a modified Hummelsheim procedure.
  • Technique involves half-tendon transpositions and antagonist weakening.
  • Follow-up of at least 6 weeks was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Mean preoperative deviation of 54 prism diopters corrected.

  • Five of seven unilateral cases achieved alignment within 15 prism diopters.
  • No cases of anterior segment ischemia or induced vertical deviation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified Hummelsheim procedure effectively corrects large-angle strabismus in muscle palsy.
    • The technique is safe, adjustable, and tissue-sparing.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand its effects.
