How Kestenbaum-Anderson Procedure is performed
This procedure is often used for those with abnormal head positions or a 'best null point,' and the amount of displacement can be determined based on individual eye position and nystagmus characteristics. Typically, under microscopic and ophthalmic instrument assistance, a conjunctival incision is made, and the relevant rectus muscles are separated and adjusted according to plan with recession or resection to move the relatively stable null zone to the orthotropic direction. Eye position and rotation are monitored during and after the surgery, with the goal of reducing abnormal head position and improving gaze stability. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
