Purpose:
To evaluate the efficacy of Faden procedure for correcting consecutive esotropia (ET).
Methods:
This retrospective study included 25 children who developed consecutive ET after primary bilateral lateral rectus (BLR) recession and underwent medial rectus (MR) recession with the Faden procedure (Faden group) or MR recession only (control group) between 2013 and 2018. Postoperative deviation angles were evaluated at each follow-ups until postoperative 6-month visit. Surgical motor and sensory outcomes were compared between Faden group and control group.
Results:
There were 10 children in the Faden group and 15 children in the control group. While the Faden group maintained orthotropia without any small deviation until postoperative 6-month visit, the control group showed wider distribution of postoperative deviation angles (1 patient with small angle esodeviation < 5 PD, 3 patients with esodeviation > 5 PD, and 3 patients with exodeviation < 5 PD). In the Faden group, seven patients have good stereopsis (60″ or better) and three patients demonstrated fair stereopsis (80-3000″) after surgery. In the control group, four, eight, and three patients showed good, fair, and nil stereopsis (P = 0.026), respectively.
Conclusion:
MR recession combined with Faden operation could be a good surgical option for managing consecutive ET.

Vector Operations
A vector multiplied by a scalar value is called scalar multiplication. The result obtained is a new vector with a different magnitude. If the scalar is positive, the direction of the vector remains the same, but if it is negative, the direction of the vector is reversed. For example, the product of the mass and velocity yields the momentum.

Reinforcement in operant conditioning can be positive or negative, both of which serve to increase the likelihood of a behavior. Positive...
Modes of Operations of BJT
Active Mode: The most common mode for amplification, the active mode features a forward-biased emitter-base junction and a reverse-biased base-collector junction. This setup enables electrons to be injected from the emitter to the base while blocking the majority carriers at the collector. The...

Basic Operations on Signals
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
