Comparative Study of Y-Split Recession versus Faden Technique for Management of Infantile Esotropia in Egyptians.

Purpose: This study compares the results of Y-split recession versus de Decker's (modified Cüppers) Faden techniques of medial rectus (MR) muscles for the management of essential infantile esotropia (IET).

Patients And Methods: Fifty patients had IET divided into Group A who underwent Y-split recession of MR muscles and Group B who underwent de Decker's Faden technique of MR muscles. All patients had complete ophthalmic examination done including deviation angle measurement and met the inclusion criteria of the study.

Comparative study of Y-split recession versus bilateral medial rectus recession for surgical management of infantile esotropia.

Aim: This prospective study compares the results of bilateral medial rectus recession versus (vs) Y-split recession of medial recti techniques for surgical management of essential infantile esotropia.

Patients And Methods: Thirty patients were included in this study and had preoperative infantile esotropia with large angles (ie, >30 prism diopters [PD]). Patients were divided into Group A, which underwent bilateral medial rectus (BMR) recession and Group B, which underwent bilateral Y-split recession of medial recti muscles.
