A Comparative Study Between Three Surgical Techniques in Large Angle Exotropia

A Comparative Study Between Three Surgical Techniques in Large Angle Exotropia: Bilateral Lateral Rectus Recession With Medial Rectus Resection, Bilateral Medial Rectus Resection and Resection-Transplantation

This is a randomized comparative interventional study that aims to compare the surgical outcomes of correcting large angle exotropia (≥50 prism diopter) by three different surgical techniques including: 1/ bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession with unilateral medial rectus muscle resection 2/bilateral medial rectus muscle resection, 3/unilateral medial rectus muscle resection with lateral rectus muscle transplantation,

This is a randomized comparative interventional study that will be conducted on patients with large angle exotropia before and after doing surgical correction using three different surgical techniques including : 1/ bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession with unilateral medial rectus muscle resection 2/bilateral medial rectus muscle resection, 3/unilateral medial rectus muscle resection with lateral rectus muscle transplantation ,to compare the surgical outcomes between them.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with large-angle exotropia (≥50 prism diopter).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with an exodeviation angle of less than 50 prism diopter.
2. History of previous strabismus surgery.
3. Restrictive or paretic strabismus or history of botulinum toxin injections for strabismus.
