Özet
We present 3 cases of successful conventional strabismus surgery to retrieve lost medial rectus (MR) muscles. In all cases the lost MR muscle was retrieved and re-attached to the intended scleral point. Two patients had residual exotropia, while the third case was orthophoric after surgery. The retrieval of lost MR muscle using conventional strabismus surgery technique can be successfully achieved if the lost MR muscle is recognized early and the re-operation is performed by an experienced surgeon. © 2013 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
