    Summary

    This study presents a modified adjustable suture surgery technique for improved patient comfort and easier muscle function assessment. The novel approach involves a cul-de-sac method with delayed adjustments, enhancing strabismus surgery outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Strabismus Surgery

    Background:

    • Adjustable suture surgery is crucial for visual axis alignment in complex strabismus cases.
    • Traditional methods can be uncomfortable and difficult for post-operative muscle function assessment.

    Observation:

    • A modified adjustable suture technique utilizing a cul-de-sac approach was developed.
    • Final suture adjustment was delayed up to one week postoperatively.

    Findings:

    • The modified technique improved patient comfort during the adjustment phase.
    • Delayed adjustment facilitated easier and more accurate assessment of extraocular muscle function.
    • The cul-de-sac approach simplified the adjustment procedure.

    Implications:

    • This modified adjustable suture surgery offers a more patient-centric approach to strabismus management.
    • The technique has the potential to improve surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction in strabismus correction.
    • Further studies can explore long-term efficacy and broader applicability.
