ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the alginic acid sodium salt on the delayed adjustable strabismus surgery by preventing the post operative tissue adhesion. 30 eyes of 15 rabbits had received an adjustable suture surgery. The alginic acid sodium salt of 4% was used during operation in 16 eyes among them by injecting it around the muscle, between the sclera and the conjunctiva. In the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, and 14th day postoperatively, we measured the pulling forces and the moving distances of the muscles during the adjustment. Then the eyes were enucleated and the histopathologic changes of the eyes were determined using the light microscope. The pulling forces and the moving distances of the muscles during the adjustment were significantly different between the alginic acid sodium salt free group and the alginic acid sodium salt used group. In the alginic acid sodium salt used group, the pulling forces were decreased and the moving distances were increased than those of the alginic acid sodium salt free group. The light microscopic examination showed more fibrosis in the alginic acid sodium salt free group than in the alginic acid sodium salt used group. These results suggest that the alginic acid sodium salt is an effective substance for the delayed adjustable suture surgery.
