Myectomy of the Inferior Oblique Muscle

Long-Term Efficacy of Inferior Oblique Myectomy Accompanied with Tenon’s Capsule Closure: Objective Analysis Using Nine-Gaze Photographs

“…Successful reduction of vertical deviation in the primary position to 7 PD or less was found in 83.3% in our study, with a mean decrease of 13 PD, which is comparable with previous reports [ 10 , 13 , 15 , 16 ]. Simons et al [ 10 ] reported that 80% of patients with SO palsy had a final vertical deviation of 7 PD or less in the primary position after an IO myectomy or recession.…”

Inferior Oblique Muscle Overaction: Clinical Features and Surgical Management

“…In one eye (1.5%), overaction of the IO persisted. In two previous retrospective studies, postoperative overacting IO rates have been reported to be 1.7% and 5% after myectomy surgery [21, 22]. Our finding on the frequency of the IOOA persistence is similar to these previously reported outcomes.…”

Surgical management of primary inferior oblique muscle overaction: a subgroup-specific surgical approach

“…In 1 eye (2.5%), a residual +1 IOOA was diagnosed. In some early studies, the rate of residual IOOA after myectomy surgery ranges between 1.8% and 5.4% (2,3,15). Our rate of postoperative residual inferior oblique hyperfunction was within this range.…”
