👀 Does asymmetric strabismus surgery carry a higher risk of asymmetric eye alignment post-op? Single-muscle medial rectus recessions involve shorter operative time and faster recovery than bilateral procedures, but do they carry a higher risk of surgically induced incomitance than bilateral procedures in esotropia? In a retrospective study of 43 patients, we found: -> Surgically induced incomitance occurred at similar low rates in both unilateral (9.5%) and bilateral (9.1%) groups. -> No statistically significant differences in incomitance amount or diplopia duration. -> Findings support the use of unilateral recessions for small-to-moderate esotropias, offering fewer complications without increased risk of postoperative incomitance. 🧠 This adds to the ongoing discussion around surgical planning in horizontal strabismus and provides reassurance for surgeons considering unilateral approaches. 📄 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/drBC3XxN 🙏 Thank you Prof. Saurabh Jain for this opportunity and guidance, as well as Surinder Dosanjh for valuable feedback and support! #Strabismus #Ophthalmology #Esotropia #MedicalResearch #SurgicalOutcomes #UCL #StrabismusSurgery #Diplopia #VisionScience
