Releasable Conjunctival Suture for Adjustable Suture Surgery
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 2007Background: Adjustable sutures are widely used in adult strabismus surgery, with a second procedure performed to close the conjunctiva irrespective of whether adjustment is required. We describe a technique where the conjunctiva is closed using a buried releasable suture, eliminating the second procedure if ...

Adjustable Suture Strabismus Surgery
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1987ABSTRACT We examined 333 patients between the ages of 11 and 70 years who underwent strabismus surgery with adjustable sutures over a ten-year period. The type of strabismus, the number and amount of adjustments, the postoperative drift, and complications were evaluated. A large percentage of patients required adjustment to obtain the desired

Suture adjustment for postkeratoplasty astigmatism
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1991Excessive corneal astigmatism following penetrating keratoplasty is a frequent problem. A technique that adjusts a single running 10-0 nylon suture after keratoplasty was used in this series of patients. The procedure requires a keratometer, slitlamp, topical anesthesia, and tying forceps.

Adjustable sutures should only be considered in patients who are able to cooperate post-operatively under topical anesthesia. This is often confirmed by performing a “Q tip test,” where the conjunctiva is manipulated with a cotton swab to see how the patient reacts.

Adjustable versus non-adjustable sutures for strabismus
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2002Strabismus, or squint, can be defined as a deviation from perfect ocular alignment and can be classified in many ways according to its aetiology and presentation. Treatment can be broadly divided into medical and surgical options, with a variety of surgical techniques being available, including the use of adjustable or non-adjustable sutures for the ...

TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS OF ADJUSTABLE SUTURES
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987The 'rediscovery' of adjustable sutures some 10 years ago has given the ophthalmic surgeon much more confidence in his ability to correct strabismus. Three methods of use are described: during surgery under general anaesthesia with adjustment during the operation using the 'springback' test to centralise the eye; during surgery under general ...

Adjustable Sutures of the Vertical Recti
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1982Fifty patients were operated for vertical strabismus problems using the adjustable suture technique. Eighty-two vertical recti muscles were either adjustably recessed or resected. the surgical decisions and muscle placement placed emphasis on the cover test plus evaluation of muscle stiffness rather than the traditional prism diopter-millimeter ...

Timing of postoperative adjustment in adjustable suture strabismus surgery
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2001The use of adjustable sutures in strabismus surgery has increased the rate of surgical success. Little data are available on the optimum timing for postoperative adjustment after strabismus surgery. We wanted to compare 2 common practices of adjustable suture technique after strabismus surgery.Two comparable groups of 40 patients each, who had ...

Suture adjustment in penetrating keratoplasty
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1994Abstract Postoperative adjustment of a single running penetrating corneal graft suture was done in 19 patients (22 adjustments). The short‐term effect of this procedure was a mean reduction of corneal astigmatism of 4.39D (p < 0.0001). Thereafter, the corneal contour was fairly stable, provided that the running suture remained intact and tight ...
