How Strabismus Correction (Rectus Recession/Resection, Adjustable Suture) is performed
This procedure is used to correct strabismus, with optional adjustable sutures for postoperative fine-tuning if necessary. Typically, a conjunctival approach is used under a microscope to dissect the target extraocular muscle, which is then recessed or shortened according to the plan and fixed to a new position with a slipknot or similar technique. After awakening, the sutures can be tightened or loosened appropriately based on the evaluation of eye position and double vision. Postoperative monitoring of the cornea, intraocular pressure, and eye movements aims to improve alignment and reduce double vision. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
