Abstract

PURPOSE
To investigate the surgical outcome of both lateral rectus resection in the treatment of residual esotropia with previous both medial rectus recession METHODS: The medical record of 30 patients who had underwent both lateral rectus resection from 1996 to 2001 for residual esotropia occurred after bilateral medial rectus recession and who had followed up for more than one year, were analysed retrospectively. Successful outcome was defined as esotropia 0.05), but it was not significant statistically. Postoperative angle of deviation in group II was increased from 8.1+/-4.6PD at postoperative 1 day to 13.8+/-7.9PD at postoperative 1 year (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Both lateral rectus resection is an effective method in the treatment of residual esotropia less than 40 PD.
