Bilateral superior oblique suture extension in pediatric A-pattern esotropia
In pediatric A-pattern esodeviation surgery, SOSE provided biomechanical precision, anatomical preservation, and elimination of hardware-related risks. Its effectiveness in collapsing A-pattern esotropia, normalizing torsion, and achieving durable outcomes establishes it as a first-line surgical intervention for bi-SOOA. This study addresses a significant gap in pediatric ophthalmology, offering extended follow-up data and highlighting the value of minimally invasive, growth-compatible techniques in protecting visual development. Larger randomized trials with extended follow-up are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of this procedure for A-pattern esotropia.
