[Study and analysis of a population of multi-operated strabismus]

We present a retrospective study of 28 consecutive patients who where operated three times or more with a total amount of operations of 99 (mean: 3.7). The main factors leading to a reoperation rate were analysed and discussed. Most of the patients were presenting a congenital pathology (96.5%) associated with early onset strabismus (85.7%) or superior oblique palsy (14.2%). The main factors for reoperations were DVD (78.5%), recurrence of esotropia (42%) and consecutive exotropia (32%).
