anterior advancement of superior oblique muscle

Ankle resection, scapular or posterior migration can be used to effectively attenuate the superior oblique muscle function. The tendon sheath and the attached fascia should be destroyed as little as possible during surgery. Treatment of diseases: upper oblique palsy, upper oblique oblique tendon sheath syndrome Indication The normal superior oblique muscle is attached to the upper quadrant of the eyeball, and has the functions of lowering, outward rotation and inner rotation. Shifting the first half of the tendon forward by 5 to 8 mm can enhance the internal rotation of the superior oblique muscle without affecting other functions of the superior oblique muscle. This surgery is designed to treat the external rotation of the eye caused by the superior oblique palsy. Contraindications 1. Suffering from ocular strabismus in the lower part of the lower rectus muscle or upper rectus muscle or weak in the other side of the oblique muscle. 2. Unexplained upper oblique palsy. Surgical procedure 1. Place a fixed eyeball suture through the conjunctiva and superficial sclera at 12 points on the limbus to pull the eyeball down. In the upper quadrant of the eyeball, it extends outward from the temporal side of the upper rectus adhesion point, making a 5~8mm long conjunctival incision parallel to the limbus, penetrating the conjunctiva and the fascia. The superior rectus muscle is pulled to the nasal side to expose the point of attachment of the superior oblique muscle. The superior oblique muscle tendon is divided into the front and the back by a squint hook. 2. Place the 5-0 absorbable suture on the anterior tendon 2 to 3 mm from the attachment point. The anterior tendon is cut by the attachment point. 3. Sew it on the sclera 5 to 8 mm forward. The new attachment point of the broken end is located just on the temporal side of the superior rectus muscle. Postoperative diet Appropriate nutrient supply, under today's living conditions, should not be too much emphasis on high sugar, high protein, high vitamin and low fat diet.
