RESUMEN
Objetivo:
mostrar resultados a mediano plazo de cirugía de estrabismo con suturas ajustables practicadas de rutinas en adultos.Métodos:
85 pacientes operados, con esotropia 37; exotropia 45 e hipertropia 3. Ajuste de las suturas luego de 6 a 24 horas.Resultados:
postoperatorio 1 a 2 meses 65 pacientes (76,5 por ciento) con ortotropia o ángulo menor a 8 y 20 pacientes (23,5 por ciento) con estrabismo mayor a 8. De los fracasos, 6 eran esotropias y 14 exotropias.Conclusión:
Las suturas ajustables aseguran el alineamiento deseado en el pos-operatorio inmediato, disminuyendo tasa de reoperaciones.ABSTRACT
Introduction:
our purpose is to show results of adjustable sutures of the rectus muscles used routinely in adult strabismus patients.Methods:
85 patients underwent this surgical procedure (esotropia 37; exotropia 45; hipertropia 3). The adjustment was done 6 to 24 hours after surgery.Results:
postoperative results after 1 to 2 months of follow-up 65 patients (76,5 percent) achieved ortophoria or deviation within 8 PD and 20 patients (23,5 percent) were unaligned in more than 8 PD. Failures were 6 esotropia and 14 exotropia who lost their immediate posoperative alignement. Conclusions. Adjustables sutures ensure immediate post-operative alignment, decreasing reoperative rates.
