Abstract
Aim: To compare the surgical outcome of adjustable with the conventional recession in patients with
horizontal comitant strabismus. Patients and Methods: A prospective comparative nonrandomized
interventional pilot study was performed on patients with horizontal comitant strabismus. Fifty‑four
patients (27 in each group) were allocated into 2 groups to undergo either adjustable suture (AS) recession
or non‑AS (NAS) recession along with conventional resection. The patients were followed up for 6 months.
A successful outcome was defined as deviation ±10 prism diopters at 6 months. The results were statistically
analyzed by Chi‑square test, Fisher’s exact test, and Student’s t‑test. Results: A successful outcome was
found in 24 (88.8%) patients in AS and 17 (62.9%) in NAS group (P = 0.02). The postoperative adjustment
was done in 13 (48.1%) patients in AS group. There was one complication (tenon’s cyst) in AS group.
Conclusion: AS recession may be considered in all cooperative patients undergoing strabismus surgery for
comitant deviations.
