    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • The modified O'Connor cinch operation is an adjustable resection technique for strabismus.
    • Its shortening and adjustment characteristics require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the shortening and adjustment characteristics of the modified O'Connor cinch operation.
    • To assess the efficacy of this adjustable strabismus surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed standard cinch operations in animal models and human patients with strabismus.
    • Measured the resection effect and evaluated adjustability through postoperative interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Animal studies indicated a small, equal release of cinch effect with each strand removal.

  • Patient studies demonstrated a consistent resection effect of approximately 4 mm.
  • Adjustments on the first postoperative day reduced deviation by 10-20 prism diopters in 6 cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified O'Connor cinch operation provides a consistent resection effect.
    • The technique is adjustable, allowing for effective correction of strabismus deviations postoperatively.
    • Satisfactory adjustments were achieved in all cases, with minimal residual deviation.
