| Summary: | Strabismus surgery is an ever-evolving branch with newer procedures being described to make it less invasive and preserve normal tissue anatomy as much as possible, while providing ocular alignment and restoring binocularity. These procedures include minimally invasive squint surgeries, modifications to conventional procedures such as plications instead of resections, mini-tenotomies and mini-plications, tucking procedures or tenoplication, use of adjustable sutures, synthetic expanders, Botulinum toxin, amniotic membrane transplants, muscle transplantation, and so on. These procedures have the advantages of minimal tissue damage, less surgical time, early rehabilitation and allow chances of re-adjustment or redo procedures later on. Though the described techniques are still evolving and have limited literature, they can be learnt by skilled surgeons and should be incorporated into mainstream strabismus surgery. |
