To evaluate the surgical outcomes of two different formulas for unilateral recess-resect in CI-type IXT patients.
Retrospective review of patients with at least 6 months follow-up after unilateral RR for CI-type IXT.
Group 1 used average distance and near exodeviation for determining RR; Group 2 used symmetric RR based on distance exodeviation.
Comparison of deviation angles and near-distance difference postoperatively.
Group 2 showed greater esodeviation until 1 month postoperatively, but no significant differences from 3 to 24 months.
Both groups significantly reduced near-distance difference at 24 months: Group 1 from 8.3 PD to 1.0; Group 2 from 9.3 to 3.8 PD.
Success rates at 24 months were 72.7% for Group 1 and 67.6% for Group 2.
