Overview

Prospective randomized comparative study demonstrates plication offers similar safety and efficacy to resection in correcting large-angle exotropia.

Key Points

  • Plication shows a statistically significant higher success rate than resection one week post-operation.
  • At six months, both techniques yield similar success rates, indicating equivalence in long-term alignment.
  • Surgical time was significantly shorter for the plication technique compared to the resection technique.
  • Patients reported effective alignment restoration with both techniques, highlighting their safety and reversibility.
