ABSTRACT
Delayed reattachment of the muscle to the sclera may be desirable to correct the angle of deviation developed after the surgery of strabismus. In order to know the possible time for the delayed adjustment, the authors tried Viscoat(R). Interceed(TC7) and polyglactin 910 mesh(Vicryl mesh(R)) as physical barriers for preventing the formation of postoperative adhesions. These materials were placed around between the detached end of the muscle and the sclera in 29 rabbits and adjustment was performed thereafter. Viscoat(R) was effective in delaying the adjustment up to 6 days after surgery. Interceed(TC7) and polyglactin 910 mesh were effective in delaying the adjustment up to 1 week after surgery.
