    Adjustable strabismus surgery using sutures proved effective for achieving desired eye alignment in most patients. Postoperative drift patterns were predictable, and complications were minimal, highlighting the technique

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Strabismus surgery aims to correct eye alignment.
    • Adjustable sutures offer intraoperative or postoperative modifications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of strabismus surgery using adjustable sutures.
    • To analyze postoperative drift and complications associated with adjustable suture techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 333 patients aged 11–70 undergoing strabismus surgery with adjustable sutures over 10 years.
    • Evaluation of strabismus type, number/amount of adjustments, postoperative drift, and complications.

    Main Results:

    • A significant percentage of patients required adjustments for optimal postoperative alignment.

  • Postoperative drift patterns varied by strabismus type but were consistent with nonadjustable procedures.
  • Adjustable sutures were beneficial for horizontal, vertical, and complex strabismus cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adjustable suture strabismus surgery is effective in achieving desired alignment.
    • The technique demonstrates predictable drift patterns and a low complication rate.
    • Adjustable sutures are particularly advantageous for complex and specific strabismus types.
