MENDEZ SANCHEZ, Teresita de Jesús et al. Minimally invasive strabismus surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.3  Epub 01-Sep-2019. ISSN 1561-3070.

Surgery based on small size incisions is gradually becoming standard practice in health care, gaining popularity in many specialties, among them ophthalmology. Evidence of this are the small incisions made for phacoemulsification, sutureless 25-G vitrectomy, and the small glaucoma drainage devices. Something similar occurs in minimally invasive strabismus surgery, where the same motor and sensory results are achieved as with limbal approach of the extraocular muscles. The present bibliographic review provides new theoretical information about a minimally invasive strabismus surgery technique leading to better esthetic results and greater satisfaction by patients suffering from this disorder, as well as their quick reincorporation to their work, school and regular daily activities.

Palabras clave : Minimally invasive surgery; strabismus; incisions.
