PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy of lateral rectus resection with medial rectus recession in the affected eye of @entity1 with @entity2341 ( @entity2341 ) with @entity5971 and limited abduction, compared with bilateral medial rectus recessions. METHODS: The charts of 9 @entity1 with @entity2341 who underwent a recession-resection procedure and 10 @entity1 with @entity2341 who underwent bilateral medial rectus recessions were reviewed. Ocular ductions (graded from 0 = full duction to -4 = total deficit), severity of retraction, alignment, head position, and binocular single vision field (for study group only) were recorded before and after surgery. RESULTS: Before surgery, the study and control groups did not differ in mean primary position @entity5971 (16.9 and 18.8 PD, respectively), face turn (16.5 degrees and 15.0 degrees, respectively), average limitation of abduction (-3.9 and -3.7, respectively), or adduction (-0.1 and -0.3, respectively). After surgery, both groups had similar mean face turns (3.9 degrees and 1.0 degrees ), @entity5971 (3.3 PD and 1.0 PD), and abduction limitation in the affected eye (-2.4 and -2.6). However, mean adduction was significantly worse in the control group than in the study group (-1.5 vs -0.6, P = .02). Globe retraction improved in all control subjects. It worsened in 5 study subjects and did not improve in the other 4. In the study group, 1 @entity1 required reoperation for undercorrection and another was overcorrected. CONCLUSION: Seven of 9 @entity1 with @entity2341 , selected on the basis of @entity5971 , limited abduction, and mild retraction, benefited from a recession-resection procedure. Abduction improved to the same degree as seen after bilateral medial rectus recessions, with less tendency to limit adduction.
