How Strabismus Surgery (Muscle Recession/Muscle Transposition/Adjustable Sutures) is performed
This surgery is used to adjust restricted or compensatory extraocular muscles, with options including recession/resection, tendon transposition, and adjustable sutures. Typically, the conjunctiva is incised under microscopic conditions, the target muscle is isolated, the traction direction is changed according to the plan, and it is fixed with fixed or adjustable sutures; if necessary, combined with antagonist muscle treatment. The anesthesia method is determined by the anesthesiology department. Postoperative monitoring includes eye position and double vision changes, corneal protection, and wound condition, with suture micro-adjustments and care as needed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
