ABSTRACT

A longitudinal, descriptive, retrospective study was carried out in the Ophthalmological “Amistad Hospital Algeria-Cuba”, El Oued, Algeria, in the period from June 2015 to May 2017, with the aim of characterizing the surgical behavior in patients with strabismus attended in said hospital. The universe consisted of 80 patients surgically treated, coinciding with the sample. The variables studied were: age, sex, preoperative diagnosis, preoperative prismatic diopters, surgical procedure, operated eye and transoperative ocular complications. Of the 139 surgeries performed / operated eyes, 52.5 % of the patients corresponded to the female sex. 38.8 % of the cases presented comitant acquired esotropia. The most performed surgical procedure was the recession of both horizontal rectums, in 84.9 %, bilateral surgery prevailing over the unilateral one.
