    The fadenoperation causes irreversible muscle damage, including fibrosis and structural changes, detectable even months after surgery. This study reveals significant alterations to muscle fibers and their components following this surgical technique.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Surgical Research

    Background:

    • The fadenoperation is a surgical technique used in strabismus surgery.
    • Understanding the long-term effects of this procedure on extraocular muscles is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the macroscopic, histological, and ultrastructural changes in muscle tissue following experimental fadenoperation.
    • To assess the reversibility of these changes over time.

    Main Methods:

    • An experimental animal model was used to perform the fadenoperation.
    • Macroscopic, histological, and transmission electron microscopy were employed to analyze muscle tissue at various postoperative intervals.

    Main Results:

    • Significant muscular fibrosis and musculo-scleral adhesions developed by the second postoperative month.

  • Histology revealed granulomatous foreign body reactions, collagenization, and degenerative changes in muscle fibers.
  • Ultrastructural analysis showed myofibrillar atrophy, Z-band alterations, mitochondrial damage, and sarcotubular system dilatation.
  • Conclusions:

    • The fadenoperation induces potentially irreversible muscle structural alterations.
    • This surgical technique demonstrably impacts muscle fiber integrity beyond the early postoperative period.
