Overview

Comparative evaluation finds similar outcomes for unilateral and bilateral surgeries in large-angle exotropia, suggesting treatment flexibility.

Key Points

  • The aim is to compare outcomes of unilateral recession-plication and bilateral three-muscle surgery for large-angle exotropia.
  • Prospective interventional non-randomized comparative study involving 66 patients with large-angle exotropia.
  • Patients divided into two groups: unilateral surgery (two-muscle group) and bilateral surgery (three-muscle group).
  • Outcome assessed using the Adult Strabismus-20 questionnaire preoperatively and at 3 months post-surgery.
  • Mean preoperative deviation was 56.53 ± 5.62 PD for two-muscle and 54.89 ± 5.83 PD for three-muscle (P = .849).
  • Mean postoperative deviation at 6 months was 9.29 ± 3.16 PD for two-muscle and 8.44 ± 3.54 PD for three-muscle (P = .303).
  • Successful motor outcome in 73.53% of the two-muscle group and 75% of the three-muscle group (P = 1.00).
