Bilateral Lateral Rectus Recession Versus Bilateral Primary Medial Rectus Resection in Intermittent Exotropia
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of bilateral lateral rectus recession and bilateral primary medial rectus resection in basic type intermittent exotropia Participants will be randomized into two groups: bilateral lateral rectus (BLR) recession and bilateral medial rectus (BMR) resection groups then followed up in the clinic for 6 months to compare motor alignment and sensory functions

Conditions
Interventions
BMR resection
Lid speculum will be applied. Fornix conjunctival incision will be used to expose medial rectus muscle. Area that will be resected will be marked using calipers. Double-armed polyglactin 910 suture (6/0 Vicryl) will be used in securing the muscle. The muscle then excised anterior to the sutures and the stump cut flush to the sclera. The muscle will be sutured again to the original insertion by scleral sutures which will be tied together. Conjunctiva will be closed using polyglactin 910 suture (6/0 Vicryl).
BLR recession
Lid speculum will be applied. Fornix conjunctival incision will be used to expose lateral rectus muscle. Double-armed polyglactin 910 suture (6/0 Vicryl) will be used in securing the muscle close to the insertion. The muscle will then be cut anterior to the sutures flush with the sclera. Calipers will used to mark the new insertion on sclera measured from the stump. The muscle will be sutured again to the new insertion by scleral sutures, which will be tied together. Conjunctiva will be closed using polyglactin 910 suture (6/0 Vicryl).
