Abstract
Purpose
To analyze and compare the outcome of two different surgical procedures in patients with complete oculomotor nerve palsy with large-angle exotropia.
Methods
The medical records of patients with total oculomotor nerve palsy and large-angle exotropia operated on at a single center from January 2006 to June 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. One group underwent lateral rectus deactivation with medial rectus resection (resection group); the other group underwent lateral rectus deactivation with medial rectus fixation to the medial palpebral ligament (fixation group). Surgical outcomes on the first postoperative day and at 6 months postoperatively were analyzed, including alignment and postoperative complications. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 14. A P value of <0.05 was considered significant.
Results
A total of 35 patients were included. There was a trend toward greater surgical success in the fixation group (93%) than in the resection group (65%), but these results were not statistically significant. Postoperative exotropic drifts were noted in both the procedures but tended to be more with patients in the resection group. Postoperative complications were noted only in the fixation group.
Conclusions
Lateral rectus deactivation with medial rectus fixation to the medial palpebral ligament requires more time and greater surgical expertise but appears to better prevent postoperative exotropic drift compared with lateral rectus deactivation combined with medial rectus resection.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
