Surgical outcomes for consecutive exotropia show combined medial rectus (MR) advancement and lateral rectus (LR) recession offer better results. This approach achieved a 71.4% success rate, outperforming individual muscle surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Strabismus Surgery

Background:

  • Consecutive exotropia is a common deviation following strabismus surgery.
  • Effective surgical management is crucial for restoring binocular vision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate surgical outcomes of medial rectus (MR) muscle advancement.
  • To assess the efficacy of MR advancement with or without antagonist lateral rectus (LR) recession for consecutive exotropia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 27 patients with consecutive exotropia.
  • Surgical procedures included MR advancement, LR recession, or combined surgery.
  • Pre- and post-operative deviation angles were recorded; follow-up was at least 3 months.

Main Results:

  • Overall success rate was 62.96%.
  • Combined surgery group showed a 71.4% success rate, higher than MR advancement (50%) or LR recession (60%) alone.
  • Patients undergoing combined surgery had larger preoperative deviations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined MR advancement and LR recession demonstrated superior, though not statistically significant, results for consecutive exotropia.
    • Surgical intervention for consecutive exotropia can achieve favorable outcomes.
