| Abstract |
|
In this study we reviewed the results of 215 operations for intermittent and alternating exotropia of the total, 120 cases had a bilateral rectus muscle recessions and 95 cases had lateral rectus muscle recession and medial rectus muscle resection. The patient in the bilateral rectus muscle recessions group ranged from 2 to 31 years of age, averaging 9.8 years, and the follow up period after operation ranged from 2 months to 25 months averaging 5.4 months. The patient in the latral rectus muscle recession and medial rectus muscle resection group ranged from 4 to 53 years of age, averaging 18.6 yeras, and the post-operative follow up period ranged from 2 to 30 months, averaging 5.8 months. The success rate of operation in bilateral rectus muscle recessions group was 83.3%(100/120), and that in lateral rectus muscle recession and medial rectus muscle resection group was 88.8%(84/95). This difference in success rate between two groups was not statistically significant. |
