Background/AimsTo compare the long-term surgical outcomes between unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection (RR) and lateral rectus recession-medial rectus plication (RP) in children with intermittent exotropia.MethodsChildren who underwent RR or RP for intermittent exotropia between January 2008 and July 2016, with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative angle of deviations and clinical factors including sex, age, refractive errors, preoperative angle of deviation, types of exotropia and stereopsis were investigated. Based on the angle of deviation at year 2, surgical outcomes were classified into two groups as follows: success (esodeviation ≤5 prism dioptres (PD) to exodeviation ≤10 PD) and failure (overcorrection (esodeviation >5 PD) and undercorrection or recurrence (exodeviation >10 PD)).ResultsOf the 186 patients, 114 underwent RR and 72 underwent RP. The angle of exodeviation steadily increased over time in both groups after surgery. The durations of exodrift were longer in the RP group than in the RR group. The surgical success at postoperative year 2 was 55.3% in the RR group and 27.8% in the RP group (p<0.001). The amount of overcorrection was associated with successful outcomes in both groups.ConclusionsIn children with intermittent exotropia, RR group presented better surgical outcomes than RP group. The amount of initial overcorrection was important to achieve favourable outcomes in children with intermittent exotropia.

The Mean

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of slanted recession of the lateral rectus muscle for intermittent exotropia with convergence insufficiency. This prospective study included 31 patients who underwent slanted lateral rectus recession for intermittent exotropia with convergence insufficiency between June 2010 and June 2012. Following parameters were recorded and analyzed: patient sex, age, preoperative and postoperative near and distance ocular alignment, and changes in stereopsis. The mean age of the patients was 9.2 years. The preoperative mean deviation angle was 32.4 PD at distance and 43.4 PD at near. After 6 months, slanted lateral rectus recession reduced the deviation angles to 2 PD at distance and 3.4 PD at near. In addition, the mean difference between distance and near deviation angles was significantly reduced from 11 PD to 1.4 PD at 6 months postoperatively. Slanted lateral rectus recession for intermittent exotropia with convergence insufficiency in children successfully reduced the distance and near exodeviations and the near-distance difference without increasing the risk of long-term postoperative esotropia or diplopia.
