Introduction: A lot of different techniques have been proposed in order to manage abduction limitation secondary to sixth nerve palsy; however, anterior segment ischemia remains a concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of augmented vertical recti muscle transposition (VRT) with partial recession of medial rectus muscle (MR) for complete, chronic sixth nerve palsy, a new modified technique that could also minimize the risk for anterior segment ischemia (ASI).
Methods: In this nonrandomized 8-year (2009-2017) retrospective review, 20 patients with complete sixth nerve palsy and contracted MR were enrolled.
