    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Strabismus Management

    Background:

    • Strabismus, or eye misalignment, often requires surgical intervention.
    • Traditional muscle recession procedures may lead to under- or overcorrection.
    • The need for adjustable surgical techniques in strabismus is well-established.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the adjustable rectus muscle recession procedure.
    • To determine the feasibility of intraoperative adjustments for precise strabismus correction.
    • To assess the stability of alignment achieved with this adjustable technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty-six patients underwent adjustable rectus muscle recession.
    • Postoperative adjustments were made based on cover-testing results on the first day.

  • Patient cooperation was a key factor, with suitability for ages 15+.

    • Main Results:

    • The adjustable technique allowed for effective modification of strabismic deviation.
    • Postoperative alignment was excellent in most cases.
    • The study observed a low reoperation rate and minimal complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Adjustable rectus muscle recession is a practical and effective method for correcting strabismus.
    • The procedure provides stable, long-term alignment with a low complication profile.
    • This technique is particularly suitable for cooperative adult patients requiring precise eye muscle surgery.
