Abstract:Y-splitting of the rectus muscle may be unstable when it is combined with a hang-back recession. Surgeons should consider this possibility when performing Y-splitting procedures.
The potential error that depends on the distance between the muscle suture placement and the scleral insertion should be considered to reduce undercorrection and ensure a good surgical outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
