    Author: Agrawal S, Singh V, Singh P.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2015 Jul; 63(7):611-3. PubMed ID: 26458480.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To compare the surgical outcome of adjustable with the conventional recession in patients with horizontal comitant strabismus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective comparative nonrandomized interventional pilot study was performed on patients with horizontal comitant strabismus. Fifty-four patients (27 in each group) were allocated into 2 groups to undergo either adjustable suture (AS) recession or non-AS (NAS) recession along with conventional resection. The patients were followed up for 6 months. A successful outcome was defined as deviation ±10 prism diopters at 6 months. The results were statistically analyzed by Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and Student's t-test. RESULTS: A successful outcome was found in 24 (88.8%) patients in AS and 17 (62.9%) in NAS group (P = 0.02). The postoperative adjustment was done in 13 (48.1%) patients in AS group. There was one complication (tenon's cyst) in AS group. CONCLUSION: AS recession may be considered in all cooperative patients undergoing strabismus surgery for comitant deviations.
