Abstract

Information about the results of strabismus surgery conducted in accredited domestic educational and medical centers can result in knowing medical status of strabismus surgery in the country. The present study was aimed at specifying the results of exotropia surgery with over 60 prism diopters of deviation. Method: The present study is a descriptive-retrospective study that was conducted over two years (2007-2008) at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Orumia. Random sampling was utilized. The study consisted of forty patients who were diagnosed with symptoms of over-60 prism diopter horizontal ocular deviation of exotropia and underwent surgery. Findings: In the present study, 40 patients with exotropic deviation of over 60 prism diopters and with a mean age of 25.27±11.89 received resection and recession (R&R). Twenty-four patients (60%) were male and 16 (40%) were female. The operation was conducted on the right eye and the left one for thirteen (32.5%) and 7 (17.5%) patients, respectively. However, alternative exotropia was conducted for 20 patients (50%). Conclusion: Generally, the results of exotropia resection and recession surgery at Imam Khomeini Hospital of Orumia has been acceptable and satisfactory. However, selecting patients for operation plays an important role in reaching better results after the operation.
