Surgery with Adjustable Sutures: Postoperative Measurements

Abstract

This study examines the postoperative measurements of patients undergoing strabismus surgery with adjustable sutures. Serial measurements were done to determine the variability during the first three hours after removing the surgical dressing. The same patients were also evaluated six weeks after surgery to study the stability of the postoperative result and the relationship to the patient's fusional status.
