SUMMARY
Adjustable sutures have been used since 1977. The goal of the adjustable suture is to allow an additional opportunity to realign the eyes soon after re-operations due to consecutive exotropias. Currently described procedures for adjustment require adjustment for all patients, typically within 24 hours after sugery. This procedure is often uncomforlable for the patient and stressful for the surgeon.
Objective of our study is to describe a new, adjustable suture technique for strabismus surgery of sutures adjustment after re-operations of the secondary exotropias.
Results and discussion
This method is safe and effective and allows for adjustment during the postoperative 2 days only when required. 23 adjustments were performed. The shorf, sliding-knot adjustable suture technique is a safe and effective variation of the standard adjustable suture technique. It allows for adjustment up to 2 days postoperatively with minimal patient discomfort. When adjustment is not indicated, the suture can be left in place to absorb.
