    This review found no randomized controlled trials comparing adjustable and non-adjustable sutures for strabismus surgery. More high-quality research is needed to determine the best surgical technique for ocular alignment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Strabismus (squint) is a misalignment of the eyes, treatable with medical or surgical options.
    • Surgical techniques include adjustable and non-adjustable sutures for extraocular muscles, with ongoing debate on optimal outcomes.
    • The specific benefits of adjustable suture strabismus surgery remain unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the long-term ocular alignment accuracy of adjustable versus non-adjustable sutures in strabismus surgery.
    • To identify specific clinical situations where one suture technique may be advantageous.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
    • Searched Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS databases up to July/August 2004.
    • Inclusion criteria limited to RCTs comparing adjustable and non-adjustable sutures for strabismus.

    Main Results:

    • No studies met the inclusion criteria for this review.
    • Consequently, no data from RCTs were available for analysis.
    • Results from non-randomized studies were noted but not analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • No definitive conclusions can be drawn regarding the superiority of adjustable or non-adjustable sutures for strabismus surgery.
    • Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are essential to establish clinical validity and clarify optimal technique selection.
    • Evidence is insufficient to guide specific clinical situations for using either suture type.
