Implication

Prospective randomized trial compares surgical outcomes of plication-recession and resection-recession in exotropia, suggesting differing long-term success rates.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two surgical techniques for treating basic intermittent exotropia.
  • Conducted a prospective randomized trial with 90 patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia.
  • Divided participants into two groups: 44 in the plication-recession (PR) group and 46 in the resection-recession (RR) group.
  • Followed up with patients for at least one year to assess surgical outcomes.
  • No significant differences in deviation angles were observed between the PR and RR groups initially.
  • The PR group exhibited a more significant exo-drift over time compared to the RR group.
  • Final one-year success rates were 55% for the PR group and 80% for the RR group.
