ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
While horizontal strabismus surgery is generally considered to have favorable outcomes, success rates can vary by type of procedure. Our purpose is to compare the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent one-muscle vs. two-muscle horizontal strabismus surgery.METHODS:
This is a retrospective study comparing one-muscle to two-muscle strabismus surgery for small to moderate angle horizontal strabismus. Demographic data and eye exam parameters were compared at baseline and postoperatively (6 months up to 6 years). Surgical success was defined as a post-operative angle of 10 PD or less. We also compared outcomes by strabismus type esotropia vs exotropia and adjusted the analysis for previous strabismus surgery.RESULTS:
Out of 89 patients with moderate angle horizontal strabismus (25 PD or less), 17 patients had a one-muscle operation, and 72 patients had two-muscle surgery. The mean age was 14.12 ± 9.30 years and 11.70 ± 11.30 years for the one-muscle and two-muscle groups, respectively (p = .74). The baseline characteristics of both groups were comparable. Follow-up time was 32.82 ± 26.93 months in one-muscle and 37.67 ± 23.81 in two-muscle groups (p = .29). Success rate was 70.6% for the one-muscle group and 68.10% for the two-muscle group (p = .69). Outcomes were similar when divided into esotropia and exotropia. The success rate was not affected by previous strabismus surgeries nor by the initial angle of deviation.CONCLUSION:
One-muscle and two-muscle horizontal strabismus surgery had similar long-term outcomes and did not differ by strabismus type nor by angle of deviation.Palavras-chave
