Outcomes of modified vertical rectus belly transposition vs augmented superior rectus transposition for chronic abducens nerve palsy
Journal of AAPOS Feb 24, 2021
Yao J, Xia W, Wang X, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for comparing the surgical outcomes of modified vertical rectus belly transposition (mVRBT) and medial rectus recession (MRc) vs augmented superior rectus transposition (aSRT) and MRc in Chinese patients with chronic abducens nerve palsy. The medical records of patients with chronic abducens nerve palsy who had mVRBT/MRc or aSRT/MRc have been retrospectively reviewed. In total, 26 patients (mean age, 37.9 ± 19.6 years; 16 males [62%]) were included. In the patient cohort, relative to aSRT/MRc, mVRBT/MRc showed a stronger effect on esotropia correction and a similar effect on improving abduction limitation.
