Purpose: To compare surgical outcomes according to the distance between the preplaced suture and the muscle insertion in lateral rectus (LR) recession for exotropia. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 64 patients who had undergone unilateral LR recession by one right-handed surgeon and divided the patients into 2 groups: right LR recession (R group, 26 patients) and left LR recession (L group, 38 patients). In the R group, the preplaced suture was behind the hook, far from the insertion; in the L group, the suture was in front of the hook, near the insertion. The main outcome measures were postoperative alignment and surgical success rate and the secondary outcome measure was effect/dose ratio. Surgical success was defined as an alignment between 10 prism diopters (PD) of exodeviation and 5 PD of esodeviation both at distance and at near. The effect/dose ratio was defined as the corrected angle of deviation at postoperative 6 months divided by the amount of LR recession. Results: The mean angle of deviation at distance showed a significant difference between the groups at postoperative 3 months (p = 0.022), but not at final follow-up (p = 0.163). There was no difference between the groups in the mean angle of deviation at near postoperatively. Surgical success was achieved in 73.1% of the R group and 71.1% of the L group at final follow-up, which was not significant (p = 0.860). Conclusions: The distance between the preplaced suture and the muscle insertion in LR recession did not affect the surgical success rate or the postoperative alignment at final follow-up.

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.

Abstract To determine the efficacy of unilateral lateral rectus recession (ULR) for convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia (CI-type IXT), we compared surgical outcomes following ULR and recess‒resect (RR) procedures for CI-type IXT. In this retrospective study, medical records of 57 children who underwent ULR (n = 30) or RR (n = 27) for CI-type IXT of less than 25 PD at distance with a postoperative follow-up of 6 months or more were reviewed. Surgical success was defined as an alignment between 10 PD exodeviation and 5 PD esodeviation at distance and near fixation. The postoperative exodeviation showed no significant difference between the two groups at the last follow-up. A significant reduction in the mean near-distance difference was achieved postoperatively in both groups: from 5.4 PD preoperatively to 2.5 at last follow-up after ULR, and from 8.2 to 2.4 after RR (both p = 0.001). However, this difference between ULR and RR was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The success rate at the last follow-up was 63.3% for ULR and 70.4% for RR (p = 0.574). ULR was found to be an effective treatment for CI-type IXT, with similar surgical outcomes to RR.

Abstract Background Different surgical methods have been suggested for the correction of intermittent exotropia. Unilateral lateral rectus recession has been described as a surgical alternative for small and moderate-angle exotropia. In general, previous studies did not focus on the outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus recession in young children with intermittent exotropia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus recession in the treatment of moderate-angle exotropia (≤ 25 PD (prism diopters)) in children. Methods The charts of all patients younger than 12 years of age with moderate-angle exotropia (up to 25 PD) who were operated during the years 2006–2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Fifty-eight patients underwent unilateral lateral rectus recession and had a minimum follow up of 6 months. The angle of exotropia (PD) before and after surgery and the success rate were documented. Results Mean age at surgery was 6.4 ± 1.9 (range 3.5–11.0) years. Exotropia improved from a preoperative angle of 21.4 ± 4.0 PD to 3.5 ± 5.9 PD postoperatively (p < 0.001). Success rate, defined as deviation of ≤ 10 PD, was achieved in 86.2%. There were 2 (3.4%) cases of overcorrection (consecutive esotropia). There were no intra- or postoperative complications. The mean follow-up duration after surgery was 2.3 ± 1.7 years. Conclusions In children with moderate angle exotropia, good postoperative success rate was achieved by performing unilateral lateral rectus recession.

Abstract Background Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a type of strabismus characterized by a sudden onset of large angle esotropia with diplopia, which often occurs in children after infancy, teenagers, and young adolescents. However, studies on the surgical outcomes of only adults are rare. The purpose of this article is to analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with AACE. Methods Medical records of 24 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥ 60 sec/arc. Results The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.1 ± 10.4 PD at distance and 33.3 ± 11.2 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 7.5 ± 4.5 months (range 1–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 3.4 ± 6.1 PD at distance and 3.8 ± 6.7 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 79.2% (19/24). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 50.0% (12/24). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery (p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time (p < 0.05). Conclusions Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.

Purpose. To evaluate the long-term outcomes of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC-TLE) in patients with uveitic glaucoma (UG). Patients and Methods. This was a retrospective, nonrandomized case series study. MMC-TLE was performed on 50 eyes with UG between February 2001 and January 2015 at Hokkaido University Hospital. Age- and sex-matched patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who underwent MMC-TLE were matched by age and sex and enrolled as controls. Surgical success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 18 or 15 mmHg. The Kaplan–Meier survival curves for surgical failure were analyzed. Results. The mean preoperative IOP in UG and POAG was 27.6 ± 10.6 and 18.0 ± 4.5 mmHg, respectively. After the surgery, the mean IOP in UG and POAG was reduced to 11.7 ± 4.2 and 12.2 ± 3.8 mmHg at 12 months, 11.9 ± 7.0 and 12.1 ± 3.1 mmHg at 36 months, and 13.0 ± 5.2 and 10.6 ± 1.2 mmHg at 120 months, respectively. The success rates (IOP <18 mmHg, IOP reduction >20%) in UG and POAG were 91.7% and 88.0% at 12 months, 82.2% and 75.6% at 36 months, and 66.5% and 61.8% at 120 months, respectively. The success rates (IOP <15 mmHg) in UG and POAG were 64.0% and 58.0% at 12 months, 55.1% and 45.5% at 36 months, and 47.9% and 37.8% at 120 months, respectively. There was no significant difference in the success rate between UG and POAG at 120 months after surgery by either definition of surgical success. Conclusions. MMC-TLE effectively reduced IOP in both UG and POAG. There was no significant difference in the success rate between UG and POAG. Following sufficient inflammation suppression, surgical outcomes of UG may be comparable with those of POAG.

Purpose. To report the epidemiological and clinical data as well as surgical outcomes of canalicular lacerations with Mini-Monoka insertion at a tertiary center in Taiwan and to discuss differences in traumatic pattern, pathogenesis, and surgical outcomes between Taiwan and other countries. Methods. From 2009 to 2018, all 48 patients who underwent canalicular laceration repair with Mini-Monoka stent at a tertiary center in Taiwan were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data and surgical outcomes were recorded. Results. The mean age of the 48 patients was 38 years. Single lower canaliculus was involved in 37 (77.1%) patients, upper canaliculus in 10 (20.8%) patients, and both in 1 (2.1%) patient. The most common etiology was motorcycle accident (41.7%), and all traffic accident injuries accounted for 68.75% of cases. Subgroup classification revealed 64.6% of patients (n=31) were categorized in the deep laceration group, and lower anatomical and functional outcomes were noted in deep laceration. The mean follow-up time was 14.5 months. Overall, the anatomical success rate was 87.5%, and the functional success rate was 91.7% after stent removal. Conclusion. Canalicular laceration caused by traffic accidents occurred with a relatively high frequency in Taiwan. Affected patients tended to be middle-aged, and deep laceration accounted for 64.6% of patients. These were contributed by the avulsive eyelid injury mechanism caused by traffic accidents. Furthermore, the deeper lacerated site was located, and the lower anatomical and functional success rates were observed. Early repair after trauma with Mini-Monoka stents achieved good eyelid position (100%) as well as good anatomical (87.5%) and functional (91.7%) success without serious complication.

Abstract Background: To analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). Methods: Medical records of 21 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥60 sec/arc. Results: The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.0 ± 11.6 PD at distance and 32.6 ± 10.8 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 8.1 ± 4.5 months (range 3–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 4.1 ± 5.7 PD at distance and 3.9 ± 5.6 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 76.2% (16/21). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 55.5% (11/21). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery ( p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.
