A Fully Adjustable Suture for Trabeculectomy
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2006<P>Most approaches to improve the control of intraocular pressure (IOP) in the early postoperative period following trabeculectomy involve irreversible alterations of the flap sutures, which carry subsequent risk of overfiltration. A new technique using a fully adjustable suture that can be incrementally loosened or tightened is described ...

A comparison of sutures for adjustable strabismus surgery
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 1999The adjustable suture technique after strabismus surgery may be more easily performed if the sutures offered minimal resistance during the procedure as desired by the surgeon.In a rabbit model, 3 different types of 6-0 absorbable sutures-Biosorb-C (polyglycolic acid with polycaprolate coating, Alcon Surgical), coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910 coated with

Releasable Adjustable Suture Technique for Children
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2005Residual esotropia is a problem for children with esotropia that can follow bilateral medial rectus recession, and the use of adjustable sutures is nearly impossible. The aim of this work is to describe a new suture technique to overcome this problem.Medial rectus muscle was recessed and secured to the sclera at the predetermined recession position ...

The adjustable suture technique allows for changing the muscle position in the immediate postoperative period, while the patient is awake. Therefore, this technique has the theoretical advantage of allowing fine tuning of ocular alignment. Unfortunately, fine tuning must be done within the first 24–48 h after the procedure, when the muscle function has

Techniques of Adjustable Suture Strabismus Surgery
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1990ABSTRACT Adjustable sutures allow eye muscle positions to be changed following strabismus surgery, when the patient is awake and able to cooperate in muscle balance testing. Bow-tie-knot and sliding-handle sutures can be adjusted within 24 hours after surgery. Scleral traction sutures, which can be used to fix the globe to periorbital tissues

The correction of ptosis with adjustable suture technique
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1990Abstract. We discuss here the results of a simple technique for the correction of ptosis, performed by us as an alternative to other techniques. The basic principal of this technique is to suspend the ptotic upper eyelid to the frontalis muscle by 3/0 silk sutures passed above the tarsus using a peritoneal needle and to adjust the rima palpebrarum in ...

Delayed adjustable sutures: a multicentred clinical review
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2010To characterise the results of the largest patient series to date undergoing closed conjunctival delayed adjustable suture techniques.A multicentre retrospective review of 440 operations (patients aged 10-91 years) by five surgeons at four centres were evaluated for surgical outcomes associated with the delayed adjustable suture technique.26% (116 of ...

Vagal Responses to Adjustable Sutures in Strabismus Correction
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992The oculocardiac reflex is a recognized complication of ocular stimulation, precipitated most commonly by traction on the extraocular muscles. To determine the true incidence of occurrence of the oculocardiac reflex during suture adjustments, 20 patients undergoing suture adjustment were monitored for blood pressure, heart rate, and rhythm ...
