Most people wonder if operating again in a patient with squint is going to be successful. It is interesting to note that this is possible and one must realize that there are various ways by which one can increase the success rate of surgery.
Adjustable suture technique is a very useful method of ensuring that the results of squint surgery are good. The muscle is out on a shoe lace kind of knot and the same can be adjusted with the patient awake in the evening. This ensures excellent outcome and this can be shown to the patient also with the use of a mirror.
Muscle surgery is quite forgiving and one can definitely operate again on muscles to ensure good outcome. Operating on the second eye can also give good results in patients.
Repeat surgery or a second or third surgery is definitely possible in squint and can give excellent results with the proper techniques....
