Re-recession of the Lateral Rectus Muscles In Patients With Recurrent Exotropia

Patient Characteristics and Surgical Approach Impacting Simultaneous to Alternate Prism Cover Test Disparity After Exotropia Surgery: A Quantitative Look at the Difference in Motor Outcomes

“…In contrast, even large lateral rectus recessions can be associated with near full abduction. 12,17,18 Not surprisingly, significantly better short-term motor alignment by the APCT has been reported after treatment of intermittent exotropia with lateral rectus resection and ipsilateral medial rectus resection (85% success) rather than with bilateral lateral rectus recession (66% success). 5 However, greater induced incomitance is associated with recess-resect procedures when compared with symmetric bilateral lateral rectus recessions.…”

Surgical Outcome of Medial Rectus Resection in Recurrent Exotropia: A Novel Surgical Formula

“…An alternative to MR muscle resection would be LR rerecession surgery. Yazdian and Ghiassi [ 16 ] reported high success rates from bilateral LR muscle rerecession of up to 17 mm, from the limbus for recurrent exotropia without producing significant limitation in abduction. However, this was only a small study size and there remain limited studies in literature on LR muscle rerecession outcomes.…”

Results of Re-operation on the Deviated Eye in Patients with Sensory Heterotropia

“…Some studies have reported on the dose-effect relation between the millimeters of reoperation and the reduction of the deviation angle in the previously operated eye 10,11. However, these studies were performed on small patient groups, and the dose-effect relationship was evaluated for the recession or advancement of only one rectus muscle.…”
