Lateral rectus recession is an effective surgical option for consecutive exotropia following bilateral medial rectus recessions. This treatment approach for exotropia generally yields successful outcomes comparable to primary exotropia repair.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Strabismus Surgery
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Consecutive exotropia following bilateral medial rectus recessions is a rare clinical scenario.
  • Limited research exists on surgical interventions for this specific condition.
  • Previous studies have focused on medial rectus advancement, not lateral rectus recession.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of bilateral lateral rectus recessions for treating consecutive exotropia.
  • To assess surgical outcomes in patients with a history of bilateral medial rectus recessions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 31 patients undergoing bilateral lateral rectus recessions.
  • Analysis of consecutive exotropia cases post-bilateral medial rectus recessions.

  • Mean follow-up of 30 months (range, 1-140 months).

    • Main Results:

    • 65% of patients (20/31) achieved a deviation of 10 prism diopters or less at final follow-up.
    • No significant limitation of adduction was observed post-operatively.
    • Successful correction of consecutive exotropia was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • Bilateral lateral rectus recession appears to be a successful surgical strategy for consecutive exotropia.
    • The outcomes are comparable to those reported for primary exotropia repair.
    • Supports Cooper's dictum advocating lateral rectus recession over medial rectus advancement in select cases.
