    Posterior fixation sutures combined with superior rectus recession effectively treat dissociated vertical deviations in 88% of patients. Standard recession alone is less reliable, while fixation sutures without recession show limited long-term success.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Strabismus Surgery

    Background:

    • Dissociated vertical deviations (DVD) are a common strabismus condition requiring surgical correction.
    • Evaluating the efficacy of different surgical techniques for DVD is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • This study compared three surgical methods for treating DVD: posterior fixation sutures of the superior rectus, superior rectus recession, and a combination of both.
    • Patient alignment was assessed post-operatively to determine the success rate of each method.

    Findings:

    • The combination of superior rectus recession with posterior fixation sutures (at 12+ mm) achieved cosmetically acceptable alignment in 88% of eyes.
    • Superior rectus recession alone proved less dependable for correcting DVD.
    • Posterior fixation sutures of the superior rectus without recession were effective in only 31% of cases during long-term follow-up.

    Implications:

    • Combined superior rectus recession and posterior fixation sutures represent a highly effective surgical strategy for managing dissociated vertical deviations.
    • These findings suggest that incorporating posterior fixation sutures can enhance the reliability of strabismus surgery for DVD.
    • Further research may explore optimal fixation distances and long-term efficacy across diverse patient populations.
