    Summary

    O'Connor's surgical method for nervus abducens paresis (NAP) yielded superior functional and cosmetic outcomes in congenital cases compared to horizontal muscle surgery. Results were comparable for NAP resulting from organic damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology

    Context:

    • Nervus abducens paresis (NAP) affects eye movement, often requiring surgical intervention.
    • Congenital and acquired forms of NAP present distinct challenges.
    • Long-term outcomes of surgical techniques for NAP are crucial for patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of O'Connor's surgical method versus horizontal muscle surgery for nervus abducens paresis (NAP).
    • To compare surgical outcomes based on the etiology of NAP (congenital vs. organic damage).

    Summary:

    • Eighteen patients with NAP underwent surgery, observed for up to 23 years.
    • O'Connor's method (muscle grafting) was compared to resection/retroposition of horizontal muscles.
    • O'Connor's method showed better functional and cosmetic results for congenital NAP; results were similar for acquired NAP.

    Impact:

    • Provides evidence supporting O'Connor's method as a preferred surgical option for congenital NAP.
    • Informs surgical decision-making for NAP based on underlying cause.
    • Highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in strabismus surgery outcomes.
