METHOD FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF COMPLICATED TYPE OF STRABISMUS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine, ophthalmosurgery.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating complicated type of strabismus due to simultaneous removing its horizontal and vertical components. Muscle should be divided into 3 parts, one part should be sutured up and dissected at the site of fixation. In case of supravergent vertical component it is necessary to suture up and dissect inferior part of the muscle, and at infravergent vertical component - its upper part. Then one should dissect its middle part, then one should dissect remained one third of the muscle and step against the site of fixation for the length being equal to the distance of dissection in the middle part, and there it is important to fix sutured up and dissected marginal muscular parts together. The innovation provides the chance for simultaneous performance of operation on removing complicated type of strabismus at its horizontal and vertical components, moreover, horizontal component should be removed due to weakening the muscle by carrying out tenomyectomy of its middle part and lengthening the muscle, as for vertical - due to shifting the site of horizontal muscle's fixation upwards or downwards.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
