Vertical Rectus Muscle Transposition and Botulinum Toxin (Oculinum) to Medial Rectus for Abducens Palsy

A Modified Surgical Technique to Treat Strabismus in Complete Sixth Nerve Palsy

“…In our study, the most common causes were trauma and vascular diseases (diabetes mellitus, etc. ), which was compatible with other studies [ 11 ]. Our success rate (related to deviation) was 88%.…”

“…In our current study, the mean abduction deficit improved from −5.9 preoperatively to −3.1 postoperatively. These results are very comparable with other studies [ 11 – 13 ]. Two of our patients who had residual esotropia in the primary position of gaze (15 and 20 PD base out) were managed successfully with prismatic correction incorporated into far-distance glasses.…”

The Efficacy of Vertical Rectus Transposition and Its Modalities in Patients with Abducens Nerve Palsy

“…It is difficult to gather a sufficiently large and homogenous group of patients with abducens nerve palsy in order to properly assess the treatment results. Similar problems seem to affect other authors (7,9,14). Nevertheless, all patients underwent a transposition surgery with or without various modifications.…”

Augmented vertical recti transposition with intraoperative botulinum toxin for complete and chronic sixth nerve palsy

“…4,11 Our success rate was 76%. Armenia, 7 Fitzsimons, 5 and Leiba et al 12 performed unaugmented VRT with intraoperative Eye BTA and gained 60, 50, and 59% success rates, respectively.…”
