In stepped surgery, the first muscle is operated on under rapid induction-recovery IV propofol infusion. Patient is assessed in the OR. If deemed necessary, other muscles are operated on under general anesthesia. No adjustable sutures are used.Results: The technique was used in 22 cases of superior oblique palsy (SOP) (primary position hypertropia in the range of 12– 25 prism diopters) and 29 horizontal strabismus cases (angles in the range 12– 20 prism diopters). The first step was an inferior oblique myectomy in the SOP cases and a single rectus recession in the horizontal cases. After intraoperative assessment, 31% (16/51) needed additional muscle surgery. After 6 months of follow up, the overall reoperation rate was 9%. The technique was well tolerated by all patients.Conclusion: Stepped strabismus surgery is a useful technique for small to moderate angle strabismus cases with the potential for reducing the number of extraocular muscles operated on without compromising the surgical outcome.Keywords: anesthesia, anesthetics, intravenous, oculomotor muscles/surgery, propofol, retrospective studies, strabismus/surgeryElkamshoushy AKassem ADove Medical Pressarticleanesthesiaanestheticsintravenousoculomotor muscles/surgerypropofolretrospective studiesstrabismus/surgeryOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1783-1789 (2021)
