Exotropia
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is designed to correct large-angle exotropia by monocular surgery. It compares two augmented recession techniques, which are recession with muscle transplantation and recession with Y splitting.
Interventions
PROCEDUREmuscle transplantation
transplanting a resected part of medial rectus to the already recessed lateral rectus muscle
PROCEDUREY splitting
Y splitting of the recessed lateral rectus muscle

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ocular alignment | from the operation till six months postoperatively | To measure ocular alignment using prisms after lateral rectus recession with muscle transplantation versus lateral rectus recession with Y splitting |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| palpebral fissure height | from preoperative to 6 months postoperative | Assess whether this is a change in palpebral fissure height pre- and postoperatively by measurement using a ruler |
| ocular incomitance | from surgery till 6 months afterward | The presence of ocular incomitance and gaze restriction using prisms and motility tests after surgery |
