HERNANDEZ SANTOS, Lourdes R.; NARANJO FERNANDEZ, Rosa M.  and  MENDEZ SANCHEZ, Teresita de J.. Technique of adjustable sutures: Results. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2001, vol.14, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

A preoperative and postoperative sensorial and motor study was conducted among 84 patients who received attention at the consultation room of Binocular Vision with the diagnosis of horizontal strabismus from the age of 13 years old on. The statistical method used was "t" or chi square test. Our objective was to determine the postoperative results of the strabismus surgery performed by the technique of adjustable sutures. The results were as follows: 61 % of the patients with exotropia and 71.4 % with the diagnosis of exotropia were in orthotropia 6 months after the operation. 71.4 % of the patients with exotropia and 83.3 % with the diagnosis of exotropia were in orthotropia a year after the operation. This surgical technique allows the modification of the deviation in the immediate postoperative.
