ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To analyze characteristics and trends of strabismus surgeries in an Israeli hospital over 2 decades.METHODS:
A descriptive, retrospective study including all strabismus surgeries (666) performed during 2000-2019 at an Israeli tertiary hospital. Electronic medical records (EMRs) were directly retrieved to produce an anonymized database.RESULTS:
No trends were evident for age, sex, or ethnicity (p = .294, 0.914 and p = .167, respectively). The mean number of horizontal muscles remained stable, while an increase was noted in the mean number of muscles operated on to repair vertical strabismus (p < .0001). Among acquired cases, a 2.67-fold increase was noted in the proportion of spontaneous strabismus and a decrease of traumatic causes to a third (p < .001). An increase was noted in the proportion of exotropia among horizontal strabismus corrections (p = .022), and esotropia correction techniques distribution changed (p = .004). Reoperations comprised a third of all cases during both decades (p = .198). Reoperations were more prevalent among younger and Jewish patients (p < .001 and p = .024, respectively). Techniques to correct esotropia and exotropia differed significantly between primary surgeries and reoperations (p < .00001 each).CONCLUSIONS:
The complexity of surgical techniques increased over time. Ethnic minorities were less prone to reoperations.Palabras clave
