Use of Healon in eye muscle surgery with adjustable sutures
Ann Ophthalmol.
1987 Jun.
Abstract
Adhesions between the contacting surfaces of conjunctiva, Tenon's capsule, and muscle produce "tissue drag" which can complicate procedures with adjustable muscle sutures. The use of Healon is recommended to minimize this tissue drag and facilitate the "adjustment phase" of muscle surgery with adjustable muscle sutures. Data on 14 consecutive cases demonstrate the utility of Healon in adjustable strabismus surgery.
