Purpose:
|
To evaluate role of intermuscular septum disection and vertical palpebral fissure height after unilateral lateral rectus muscle recession.
|
|
Methods:
|
Twenty five and twenty six patients who were candidates for lateral rectus muscle recession were assigned into 'with' and 'without' intermuscular septum dissection study arms. The palpebral fissure height was measured in one day before surgery and in two weeks and three months, postoperatively.
|
|
Results:
|
Two weeks and three months after surgery, significant increase of palpebral fissure height was observed in both groups (Paired T-test; p < 0.05). Also, less widening of palpebral fissure height was observed in “with intermuscular septum dissection” group (ANCOVA test; p < 0.05).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Intermuscular septum dissection is recommended in lateral muscle recession for decreasing undesirable widening of palpebral fissure width.
