How Four Rectus Tendon Tenotomy with Reattachment is performed
This procedure usually involves tenotomy of the four rectus muscles under microscopic conditions, followed by reattachment in or near the original position, which is a 'decoupling-reattachment' process. A common approach is to attempt to reduce the amplitude of nystagmus by changing tendon tension and proprioceptive feedback. The surgery is performed under standard anesthesia and monitoring, and postoperative monitoring of eye position, diplopia, and wound condition is performed, with the goal of improving gaze stability. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
