    Posterior fixation surgery improved control of demonstrated vertical strabismus (DVD) in 95% of patients. While technically challenging, this procedure offers a safe option for experienced surgeons correcting specific eye alignment issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Strabismus

    Background:

    • Esodeviations, including demonstrated vertical strabismus (DVD), nystagmus blockage syndrome, and abnormal distance/near relationships, pose challenges in ophthalmic correction.
    • The posterior fixation operation is explored as a potential surgical solution for these conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the posterior fixation operation in correcting DVD, nystagmus blockage syndrome, and abnormal distance/near relationships.
    • To report surgical outcomes and technical considerations for this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved patients undergoing the posterior fixation operation for various esodeviations.
    • Surgical outcomes were assessed, focusing on the control of manifest DVD and other associated conditions.

    Main Results:

    • A significant improvement was observed in 95% of patients regarding their control of manifest DVD.
    • Results for nystagmus blockage syndrome and abnormal distance/near relationships were inconclusive.
    • The procedure, though technically demanding, was deemed safe when performed by experienced surgeons.

    Conclusions:

    • The posterior fixation operation is an effective additional procedure for improving demonstrated vertical strabismus (DVD).
    • Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness for nystagmus blockage syndrome and abnormal distance/near relationships.
    • Experienced surgeons can safely perform this technically difficult posterior fixation procedure with described technique refinements.
