The purpose of this investigation is to study the feasibility and inflammatory response of surgery for rectus muscles using a small single bulbar conjunctival incision posterior and parallel to the muscle insertion.
Patients requiring surgery of at least one rectus muscle with several diagnoses, operated under general or topical / sub-Tenon's anesthesia, who had no previous eye muscle surgery, will be recruited. Routinary clinical ophthalmological examination will be carried out. After applying a 5-0 PGA traction suture, a 3-4 mm single conjunctival incision posterior and parallel to the rectus muscle insertion will be done. A hang-back recession with 6-0 PGA suture will be carried out, and the conjunctiva closed by an 8-0 PGA single stitch. The main outcome measure will be duration of swelling and hemorrhage, and secondary outcome measure will be motor outcome at 2 months after surgery.
Purpose/Background: To study the feasibility and inflammatory response of surgery for rectus muscles using a small single bulbar conjunctival incision posterior and parallel to the muscle insertion.
Methods: Patients requiring surgery of at least one rectus muscle with several diagnoses, operated under general or topical / sub-Tenon's anesthesia, who had no previous eye muscle surgery, are included. Routinary clinical ophthalmological examination is carried out. After applying a 5-0 PGA traction suture, a 3-4 mm single conjunctival incision posterior and parallel to the rectus muscle insertion will be done. A hang-back recession with 6-0 PGA suture will be carried out, and the conjunctiva closed by an 8-0 PGA single stitch. The main outcome measure is duration of swelling and hemorrhage, and secondary outcome measure is motor outcome at 2 months after surgery. Results are compared with retrospectively collected data of patients operated using limbal (n= 20) and fornix incision (n= 21) as a point of reference.

| single minimal conjunctival incision | Procedure | A 5-0 PGA traction suture was used near the corneal limbus corresponding to the operated muscle. A 3-4 mm single conjunctival incision posterior and parallel to the insertion in medial, lateral or superior rectus muscle was used. A hang-back recession of the muscle was done using 6-0 PGA suture. The conjunctiva was closed by an 8-0 PGA single stitch with knot burial |
