Non-absorbable versus Absorbable Sutures for Medial Rectus Advancement in Consecutive Exotropia, a Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial.

In our study, there was no statistical difference in success rate or exoshift between non-absorbable and absorbable sutures. So, considering local inflammation induced by non-absorbable sutures in some cases, the absorbable sutures can be an appropriate option for the treatment of consecutive exotropia.
