Christakopoulos CE, Larson SA, Vinding T, et al. - The researchers wanted to compare the outcomes of strabismus surgery in patients who either had the scleral explant (EX) retained or removed after surgery for retinal detachment in a larger study population. The two groups were compared in terms of surgical outcome, motor success [defined as horizontal deviation of ≤ 6 prism diopters (PD) and vertical deviation of ≤ 6PD], sensory success [defined as no diplopia without use of prism], the number of secondary operations for strabismus, and complications. Forty-seven patients were involved in the research; 70% had retained the EX and 74% had vertical strabismus. Regardless of the presence of the EX, good surgical outcomes were obtained, including high motor and sensory success. In two patients who had previously removed EX, retinal re-detachment was observed.
