Although adjustable sutures are considered a standard technique in adult strabismus surgery, most surgeons are hesitant to attempt the technique in children, who are believed to be unlikely to cooperate for postoperative assessment and adjustment. Interest in using adjustable sutures in pediatric patients has increased with the development of surgical techniques specific to infants and children. This workshop briefly reviews the literature supporting the use of adjustable sutures in children and presents the approaches currently used by three experienced strabismus surgeons.
尽管可调节缝线被认为是成人斜视手术的标准技术，但大多数外科医生对于在儿童中尝试该技术仍持犹豫态度，因为人们认为儿童不太可能配合术后评估和调整。随着针对婴幼儿和儿童的特定手术技术的发展，在儿科患者中使用可调节缝线的兴趣有所增加。本次研讨会简要回顾了支持在儿童中使用可调节缝线的文献，并介绍了三位经验丰富的斜视外科医生目前所采用的方法。
