To go beyond the common and explain a
new surgical technique in strabismus
surgery, discuss it and compare it with the
old Conventional ones.

There are some rules need to be
discussed, such as:
▪ squint surgical rules .
▪ Terms of ocular Movements:
▪ -ANTOGISNT –AGONIST -YOKE MUSCLE -SYNERGIST
▪ Laws of ocular mobility:
▪ SHERRINGTON LAW:
reciprocal innervations
▪ HERRING LAW:
equal innervations
dr.jamal19@gmail.com
The classical surgical squint techniques
mostly depend on:
changing the mechanical action of the muscles by
resections or recessions. and such rules explain the
movement of the eye.
I suppose there is also
compass like center at the eye ball . OR
The ocular muscles itself has a control center like the
heart muscle P.M. OR
there is neurological control (supranuclear) of the
ocular muscles.

Background
How did I started with this technique ?
• Due to the high rate of over or under-correction and
reoperation surgeries with unpredictable result (15-
35 % ).
• I observed ten cases of adjustable suture during
first week of surgery, and I found that the eye
motility and alignment is VERY GOOD and it doesn't
need adjustment.
• Depending on myectomy of inferior oblique…
dr.jamal19@gmail.com
• What’s about the rules that I found?
-four rules:
evaluation during operation after every step of surgery…
Myectomy on insertion or 1mm or 2mm from insertion…
More dissection for high squint degree…
Tractional suture for high squint degrees…
“there has been steady increase in
knowledge of the supranuclear pathway
that control eye movements including
the pathway in the brainstem and
cerebellum and their connection.

Support Note
So what about my technique..
• is a new revolution in our ophthalmic field
because:
▪ it is simpler
▪ easier to do
▪ require less time.
▪ no need of suturing.
▪ small incision.
▪ local anesthesia (drop and subconjunctival
lidocaine injection 1% or 2%) except for children
under 12 years old.
▪ no side-effects with more efficient results.

• I have operated about 74 primary squint
patients (XT-ET and some secondary cases –
re-operated) 34 of them preformed in Baish
General hospital, KSA and the rest in Libya.
• Different age group 6y– 70y.
• the observations of their results after using
this New technique for one year, two years
and three years.
So what about my
technique..
dr.jamal19@gmail.com
After I do a myectomy to recess for medial
rectus or lateral rectus and leave it as it is,
There is no need to reinsert the muscles,
because the eye will balance directly during
operation, and the muscle will adjust and
reinsert by itself soon as the eye motility
require. no need to adjustable suture.

CT images Found that ocular muscles
after operation will very soon insert to the
sclera in new place and adjust by it self.
and the eye will balance also.

• the cosmetic improvement is (85 -95%).
• the binocular vision is improved in young
children 45%??.
• all the patients showed improvement, and no
permanent double vision.
